Blueberry Harvesting Robot

Currently, the harvesting of premium blueberries relies heavily on manual labor, with workers spending long hours in the fields hand-picking each berry. Globally, there are few automated devices or robots designed for blueberry harvesting, as the complexity of picking premium blueberries far exceeds that of other crops.

• The blueberry robot innovatively integrates an all-terrain quadrupedal mobile chassis with a dual-arm operating platform. This unique design combines the robust mobility of a robotic dog with the advanced manipulation capabilities of a dual-arm robot.
• The robot learns how to identify ripe blueberries and how to harvest them through simulations and real-world scenarios. The learned models are deployed on an advanced edge computing platform, enabling stable and reliable blueberry recognition and harvesting across various weather conditions and time periods.
• The blueberry robot employs flexible hands to ensure stable and reliable harvesting while minimizing damage to the blueberry skin and bloom, achieving a quality comparable to manual picking.

• The first-ever automation of premium blueberry harvesting has been achieved.
• Driving innovation in blueberry agricultural technology.

• It can be utilized for the harvesting process, and with simple adjustments, it is capable of performing other tasks in blueberry cultivation, such as pesticide application, de-stemming, and plant protection.
• In addition to various operations in blueberry cultivation, the blueberry robot has the potential to expand to other agricultural products, such as strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, and more.
• The blueberry robot can collect environmental data from greenhouses and various metrics related to crop growth cycles. It enables the monitoring, analysis, and regulation of environments.
