Insect farming automation piloting execution

Abstract

The CoRoSect project was the first EU Horizon 2020 project in the history of the Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The project created collaborative environments between humans and robots, streamlining labour-intensive tasks in insect farming production. Main result of the project was to significantly enhance the optimization and automation of small and medium-sized insect farms that breed and rear black soldier flies, mealworms and crickets. This was achieved by introducing and piloting an integrated cognitive ecosystem that automates monotonous and challenging aspects of insect farming.
