Advanced Farm's robotic apple harvester is designed to mechanize the challenging tasks in apple farming. Reusing its existing technology applied in strawberry harvesting, the company has successfully forayed into automating apple farming with the new robot. Features include soft grippers that remove apples gently, high-speed arms with a wide range of motion, safe autonomous navigation through orchards, a hybrid electric drive system for extended working hours without refueling, and real-time stereo cameras that fast scan trees for apples meeting specific color and size criteria. It fits seamlessly into existing orchard operations, causing no disruption to the harvest process.
- Robotic Arms and Grippers: Multiple robotic arms efficiently pluck apples without damaging them, promoting increased productivity alongside product integrity.
- Autodrive Feature: The harvester carefully navigates down orchard rows, skillfully avoiding obstacles such as trees, branches, and other objects.
- Hybrid Electric Drive System: This lightweight, fuel-efficient feature allows the machine to work for prolonged hours without needing to refuel, optimizing the harvesting process.
- Real-Time Stereo Camera: Cameras promptly scan trees for apples that satisfy specific color and size specifications, ensuring a quality yield.
- Seamless Integration: The robot effortlessly fits into existing orchard workflows without disturbing the harvest, asserting the technology's compatibility with current farming operations.
