AgriFoRwArdS Student News
Lets find out what the students have been up to over the last quarter...
Jack Foster travels to Canada for AAAI-24
Cohort 2 AgriFoRwArdS Student Jack Foster had the opportunity to travel to Vancouver in Canada this February to attend the Thirty-Eighth AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-24).
The Conference, which took place at the Vancouver Convention Centre on 20th to 27th February 2024, promotes research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and fosters scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines.
Jack was successful in having his paper ‘Fast Machine Unlearning Without Retraining Through Selective Synaptic Dampening’, which he wrote with his Primary Supervisor Dr Alexandra Brintrup, accepted for a poster presentation at the conference. The poster was well received by both industry and academic attendees. The premise is that with AI becoming increasingly prevalent, and regulation emerging as a result, the need to forget private or copyrighted information is more important than ever. Jack’s approach allows a machine learning model to forget such information, in a fast, economical and effective way.
“I think the best thing is that it was a chance to see how relevant your research was. We spoke to a bunch of people in industry who happened to be researching similar topics, which we didn’t expect, and added some extra credibility to our work.”
Students encourage the next generation of roboticists
AgriFoRwArdS Students James Bennett and Harry Rogers have recently been involved in UEA’s science outreach programme which they have helped to embed robotics into. UEA had a fleet of LEGO Mindstorms robots which were used with a previous programming session that needed revitalisation. James redeveloped the session, embedding some key robotics principles and creating new session resources.
Last year, Harry and James, along with others they trained, ran this session as part of UEA’s Bringing Scientists to You programme where UEA scientists visit local schools to engage Year 8/9 pupils in science. The session goes down well and a bit of friendly competition helps.
More recently, some students from City College Norwich studying engineering visited UEA. James and Harry expanded the session to go into more detail for the older students who had the chance to tackle more challenges in the longer session. It was thoroughly enjoyed by the students as you can see from their photo.
In the session, students first get acquainted with the robot and how they can write python code to get the robot to do what they want which they practise by getting it to drive in given patterns. Next the concept of sensors is introduced allowing the robot to see the world. Finally, the students use the sensor to race around a racetrack and tune a control algorithm to achieve the best result. A lot is covered in a short 45 minute session but the students enjoy seeing how it all comes together. The material for the session is open sourced so you can look at it and run or modify the session for your needs.
Students visit Vertical Farming Lab
A group of students from Cohort 5 (Benjamin Nicholls, Catherine Merchant, Dimitris Paparas, Elliot Smith, and Liyou Zhou) recently attended an Agri-TechE Early-Career Innovators’ Forum (ECIF) visit to Leaf Labs. The visit took place at their Bourn Quarter site just outside of Cambridge. GrowUp Farms’ centre here is dedicated to research for its production facilities.
GrowUp (https://growupfarms.co.uk/our-leaf-lab/) is a company specialising in the production of leafy greens (lettuce, rocket) through vertical farming and controlled-environment agriculture. Their main production facility in Kent, Pepperness, aspires to become the blueprint for vertical farming operations in the UK and abroad – using a tenth of the water compared to traditional farming. This site uses a highly automated production line and also manages to use 100% renewable energy. GrowUp’s produce can be bought from Iceland, Tesco, and Spar. Their main selling point is that the consumer’s hand being the first ever to touch the produce; due to the growing environment the salad does not need to be washed and thus has a longer shelf-life (double!).
The Student's visit to Leaf Labs introduced them to GrowUp's state-of-the-art research facilities, where they attempt to tune the growing process to perfection. Their visit also included a presentation detailing GrowUp’s operations, past, present and future, and a tour of the facilities. They had the opportunity to ask many questions to understand how vertical farming can operate commercially.
“I was astonished by the scale of their operations and the significant milestones they achieved. They have effectively created a lettuce factory – more so than a farm. It is hard to comprehend all the complex interactions at play, even in this highly controlled environment. I was happy to hear that they are keen to explore data-driven optimisation further and achieve results faster. Going from seed to harvesting in 3 weeks is incredible, especially considering this happens year-round. I would highly recommend visiting their facilities.” - Dimitris Paparas
“It was great to have an insight into the methods in which GrowUp tackles the problem of farming. I think it has great applications and would like to see more companies follow this trend. The largest barrier is energy costs and if these can be mitigated then vertical farming can easily become widespread.” - Benjamin Nicholls
Spot the robot dog counts aphids
AgriFoRwArdS Student Xumin Gao spent a week exploring how the University of Lincoln's newest robot team member, Spot the Dog, could assist his PhD work by completing the task of automatic aphid counting. Xumin and his PhD team did a preliminary field test with Spot, who went into the sugar beet field, walked to the location of yellow water pans which are used to catch aphids, took images and then counted aphids using an aphid counting network they proposed.
Unfortunately, when they conducted the tests, the migration of the aphids had already stopped, so there were hardly any there to count. But on a positive note, they did find that Spot can easily walk through crops and causes less damage to crops compared with wheeled robots, meaning crops can recover quickly from the intervention.
In the future, Xumin hopes to spend more time further automating Spot and developing Spot's intelligence to further assist his automatic aphid counting task.
This work is seen as an important exploration of the potential of Spot robots for the development of cutting-edge agricultural technology.

IFE Manufacturing 2024
This March AgriFoRwArdS CDT had the fantastic opportunity to participate in one of the largest food exhibitions, IFE Manufacturing. The exhibition provides an ideal environment for product developers, packaging designers, ingredient buyers, and food manufacturers to explore the latest trends and discover transformative solutions and products. The event stands as one of the largest gatherings in the food and beverage industry, attracting exhibitors and attendees from around the world. This year's event took place at Excel London from March 25-27, spanning three days from Monday to Wednesday, and welcomed an incredible number of visitors, with 27,000 attendees from 102 countries.
The AgriFoRwArdS/University of Cambridge stand was positioned in the Trends and Innovation Platform of the exhibition, showcasing the latest agri-food technology to exhibitors. The stand was managed by Narges Khadem Hosseini, Cambridge CDT Principal Technician, along with Yi Zhang, AgriFoRwArdS CDT PhD Student, Fumiya Iida, AgriFoRwArdS CDT Deputy Director, and Fulvio Forni, AgriFoRwArdS CDT Co-Investigator, Veronica Egorova, AgriFoRwArdS CDT Administrator, and Yuki Nakagawa, from RT- Corporation.
It was a fantastic opportunity for AgriFoRwArdS CDT members to showcase their current projects, regardless of their stage of development. Leveraging this platform, they could demonstrate and discuss the automation levels of their projects, which garnered positive feedback from visitors. The AgriFoRwArdS stand, featuring robotic/automation processes, stood out among others and successfully attracted attention. AgriFoRwArdS even had the privilege of being interviewed by reporters, and several reporters captured videos of the stand.
"During the exhibition, we had fruitful discussions with investors and food manufacturers who expressed interest in collaborating on automation processes, not only in the UK but also internationally, including Africa and Asia. It was enlightening to understand the challenges and obstacles faced by food manufacturers and their enthusiasm for accelerating production processes, especially concerning low-profile tasks for pick and place and replacing human labour with robots. Additionally, we had the honour of meeting Dr. Bola Olabisi, CEO of Global WIIN and director of Intellectual Property Awareness Network (IPAN). This networking opportunity allowed us to connect with successful women in business and learn about their efforts to support women in developing their ideas and advancing in their careers."
The AgriFoRwArdS stand featured three robotic arms for food handling and control. The main purpose was to showcase the capabilities of CDT students in controlling robots, programming, and enhancing robot safety for pick and place tasks in the agri-food industry. A large TV displayed videos of the AgriFoRwArdS CDT Student's current projects, such as Will Rohde’s project supported by G's Growers, which garnered significant attention, especially the segments featuring the Thorvald robot moving in greenhouses and scanning strawberries.
This successful event has paved the way for establishing new partnerships with potential industrial partners and provided excellent networking opportunities with individuals interested in robotics.
Peer-to-peer support for the transition to PhD
The transition from a taught MSc programme to autonomous PhD research can feel slightly overwhelming, and as much as students can be provided with information and resources to help with this transition, nothing compares to hearing from those who have actually lived it.
Each year the newest Cohort to join the AgriFoRwArdS CDT come together in an online student-led session to hear from those who have already started their PhD. The event gives a brief look into the transition to PhD life at each of the three universities, and allows our students to share thoughts and experiences with each other and to support each other through this process.
During the session students had the opportunity to ask questions of their fellow students, and even learnt things they didn’t know they needed to know!
“The students running the session had prepared questions themselves, so once all of our questions had been answered, they continued with a quick-fire few minutes of answering their own questions. This was useful as we don’t know what we don’t know, and did not think to ask some of the questions they answered for us.”
One of the key takeaway’s from the session seemed to be the positive impact our PhD Supervisors have on student’s experience of the PhD.
“I realised how it is normal to feel intimidated by other published research and how we are not expected to produce work of that level right away. The supervisor will help guide us throughout our first year and we’ll drive the direction of the project more independently later.”
Thank you to all our PhD students who engaged with this session to provide support for their fellow students.
The 4th International Embodied Intelligence Conference
It has become tradition that every March the Bio-Inspired Robotics Laboratory (BIRL), University of Cambridge, with help of the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) organises the Embodied Intelligence International Online Conference.
For the fourth year the conference brought together engineers, biologists, philosophers, and phycologists in attempt to answer questions about embodied intelligence, exploring facts and uncovering complexity of its phenomenon and making yet another attempt to formulate ethical dilemmas related to Embodied Intelligence research.
The conference ran for 3 days (20-22 March 2024) and consisted of 5 sessions, with 32 talks from leading academics, 50 post-doctoral researchers and PhD students representing universities from Asia, Europe, and America.
Each year the AgriFoRwArdS CDT students have attended the EI International conference and used it as a platform to show-case their research and discuss their ideas with wider EI community. This year, Cohort 2 student, Elijah Almanzor, gave a presentation titled “Twitch-Based Sensory-Motor Coordination: From Reflexes to Coordinated Behaviour” and for the first time Cohort 4 student, Yi Zhang presented her paper "Virtual model control for compliant reaching under uncertainties".
If you wish to see what questions the global EI community is currently focused on, please visit the 4th Embodied Intelligence conference website and watch the talks’ recordings: Day 1 Recordings; Day 2 Recordings; Day 3 Recordings.
