autoevolution 3 Jun 2021, 12:26 UTC · by Turns out the mushroom industry in Pennsylvania produces two-thirds of the mushrooms grown in the United States, which requires a lot of work. The grueling, intensive job has led to a labor shortage, but researchers might have an answer to the problem: a robotic mushroom picker that can automate the harvesting process. 5 photos Americans like their mushrooms, with almost 900 million pounds of button mushroom consumed in a single year, according to professor Long He from the Pennsylvania State University. That means $1.3 billion worth of edible f...
Robotic device to pick and trim mushrooms to solve labor shortages Researchers in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences have developed a robotic mechanism for mushroom picking and trimming and demonstrated its effectiveness for the automated harvesting of button mushrooms. In a new study, the prototype, which is designed to be integrated with a machine vision system, showed that it is capable of both picking and trimming mushrooms growing in a shelf system.
