abstract = "Robotic technology is on the rise and is predicted to enhance sustainability in agrifood systems. In this chapter, we highlight the importance of robotic handling in the food system from various perspectives. Robotics as a key enabling technology in Food Industry 4.0 is expected to revolutionize the processing, handling, and distribution of agrifoods. The Internet of Things enables technologies to be more flexible and to produce small batches more efficiently. This chapter also illustrates the application of robotics with practical examples. To achieve sustainable production and consumption processes, we suggest to better exploit synergies between artificial intelligence, drones, and sensors and strengthen the collaboration between humans and robots.",
