Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy' Knutsson says robots and drones are revolutionizing fruit farming with faster picking and smarter handling.
Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s
Flying robots bring precision and efficiency to harvesting Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards, identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to maneuver carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees.
-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype uses layered 'fingers' to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming. The gripper’s motorized reels allow its tape-based fingers to extend, rotate and convey items like a conveyor belt.
-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation.
