Flexible harvesting robot aims to pick 95% of orchard fruit
Original: Flexible harvesting robot targets 95% of fruit on orchard trees
A flexible harvesting robot has been developed that can reach and pick an estimated 95% of fruit growing on orchard trees. The machine is designed to handle the variety of tree shapes and fruit positions found in commercial orchards, a long-standing challenge for automated picking. The news is drawing attention from the fresh produce industry, where labour shortages are pushing growers to consider robotic harvesting solutions.
Why now: Growers are keenly interested in automation that could ease persistent labour shortages in fruit harvesting
