E-Series

Spanish robotic strawberry harvester from Huelva with up to 24 independent picking arms that grip and cut the stem so fruit is never touched, guided by colour/infrared depth sensors and LiDAR. A long-running pioneer (field work in Huelva and California, early Driscoll's trials) — but Agrobot itself still labels the E-Series pre-commercial and 'not for sale, project on development' as of 2026, with thin recent public evidence of commercial deployments.

At a glance

Best for

Watching, not buying — large strawberry growers tracking robotic harvest maturity; Agrobot remains one of the longest-running dedicated strawberry-harvest programmes in Europe.

Avoid if

You need a strawberry harvester you can actually order — the manufacturer explicitly states the E-Series is not for sale and remains in development.

Not suitable for

Any purchase decision today; crops other than bedded/raised strawberries.
