In the wave of agricultural automation, fruit picking has long been a technical challenge. Traditional manual harvesting is inefficient and costly, while fully automated robots often struggle with ...

Strawberries are delicate and hard to harvest—easily bruised and often hidden under a canopy of leaves. This creates headaches for scientists trying to design robotic harvesters. Now a Washington ...

Modern farms are increasingly automated—from GPS-controlled combine harvesters to machines that shake apples from trees. One task, though, seems stubbornly resistant to being ceded to robots: picking ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children -- and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...

To build a “hand” for a robot apple picker, Joe Davidson first had to learn how to pick apples. After all, he was an engineer, not a farmer. “Picking apples seems like a very simple thing to do,” ...

With an ever-increasing global population, the agricultural community can no longer rely on human-only cultivation and harvesting for the current and future demand for food. Machine harvesting has ...
