Advanced core processing: New robot technology appealing for apple growers
Share New autonomous robotic technology developed by Monash University researchers has the potential to become the ‘apple of my eye’ for Australia’s food industry as it deals with labour shortages and an increased demand for fresh produce. A research team, led by Dr Chao Chen in Monash University’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has developed an autonomous harvesting robot capable of identifying, picking and depositing apples in as little as seven seconds at full capacity. Following extensive trials in February and March at Fankhauser Apples in Drouin, Victoria, t...

autoevolution 28 Apr 2021, 15:54 UTC · by 1 photo Just like nearly every industry sector out there, agriculture has also been hit hard by the health crisis. Labor shortage is a real struggle that has to be addressed to avoid a future food crisis and other dire consequences. Luckily for apple growers though, Australian researchers from the Monash University are on top of things. They developed a robot that can help with apple harvesting and trials so far look very promising. The autonomous robot is controlled by a motion-planning algorithm and equipped with cameras. It can work in any w...
