Reservoir, together with Washington State University's Prosser Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC), the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission (WTFRC), and the Tri-City Development Council (TRIDEC), announced the launch of an agricultural robotics incubator for Washington growers. The incubator will give agricultural robotics startups access to orchards, vineyards, and berry fields in Washington State, where they will work alongside researchers and growers. The parties launched this program against the backdrop of Washington growers facing rising labor costs and a shrinking workforce for some of the crops that are hardest to automate.
