SPECIAL FOCUS

4 arms to harvest fruits and cut the poles of each fruit to protect against damage.
Testings showed that these robots could collect fruit like labor, and in the future,
each robot will collect more than 25,000 raspberries per day while human labor can
collect 15,000 per 8 hours.
This unique combination of technologies does not only form a floating cover for
irrigation basins but also offers protection against the formation of algae. Integrated
solar panels also generate energy in an environmentally friendly way.
Packing category
There are organic pea farms with peas planted vertically ‘in bags’. Once opening
the bag, the peas are planted in the bottom. After the first harvest, the bag should
be placed on a windowsill to get light and be given water, allowing the plants to
continue to grow and can be harvested again. This technique is simple, and the
peas are healthy and delicious.
This first-generation, direct contact, food-safe, compostable fruit label for high-
speed, the automated application is paper- and plastic-free. It is available in different
sizes.
Innovation in each category affects the fruits and vegetables industry for
consumers’ convenience, health, and safety. Technology such as drones or robots
will support farmers toward smart farming and sustainability concerns.
Technology category
Flying autonomous robots, with full six degrees of
freedom of orientation, can harvest many different fruits,
thus reducing the need for manual picking. The robots’
ability to approach each fruit from an optimal position and More Information Service Info C002
angle is based on deep artificial intelligence and computer
