Selective and autonomous harvesting robots
Supporting growers to remain competitive

Technology

Vertical Harvester

The harvesting height can be adjusted for a variety of picking circumstances, by adjusting the vertical position of the arm, the picking can be done no matter how tall or low the crops are.

Horizontal Harvesting

An autonomous mobile platform developed to navigate in multiple farming environments and designed to be deployed through rows of crops for picking without human supervision.

Advanced AI developed in-house allows the robot to detect the ripeness of soft fruits and vegetables, while the modular soft robotic arms can operate adapting to any crop configuration.
