These robots aren't just tireless pickers; they're more like flying geniuses. Outfitted with cameras, they precisely assess each fruit's size and color, ensuring they only pick the perfectly ripe ...

Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards, identifying ...

This technology lowers the technical barrier through a “human–robot collaboration” model—eliminating reliance on expensive ...

In the orchards of Central Washington, a new kind of technology is revolutionizing the fruit tree industry. One of the robots being tested is 14 feet tall and has six mechanical arms with suction ...

Inspired by a childhood game of unspooling measuring tape, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new type of robotic gripper using the same flexible metal strip.

The machine can harvest the same amount of strawberries in a day as a person, using cameras to judge when the fruit is ripe ...

A robot that can pick raspberries without crushing or damaging the fruit — after being trained only in a lab with an artificial raspberry plant — is presented in a study published in Communications ...

The challenge at the heart of the robot’s creation lies in the labor-intensive process of picking citrus fruit. Reliant on the unpredictable availability of human workers, citrus picking is ...
