Raymond King

I have over 10 years engineering experience from a diverse range of products and industries including construction, aerospace and agriculture.  I worked for 4 years at Small Robot Company, leading a team and various projects, including the design of an agricultural robotic platform for crop scouting and a spot spraying robot. I am now a Consultant in the AgTech space, helping farmers, manufacturers and developers build the next generation of agricultural products and technologies. 

I also co-founded the IAgrE Robotics Special Interest Group and co-chaired discussions on various and diverse topics, including Safety and legislation for Autonomous systems in agricultural applications. Late in 2021 I delivered a talk to the Wrekin branch of IAgrE on the development and design process that myself and my team used to deliver Small Robot Company's first commercially viable crop scouting robot (Tom V3). I became Chartered in May 2023 and have been helping others in their journey to Chartership as a mentor.

I feel excited and privileged to have the opportunity to contribute to the great work that IAgrE is doing to promote Agricultural Engineering.
