You can have a robot bring your food, operate your car, and even clean your house. Farmers’ workloads would be lessened if a robot could pick fragile strawberries in a field. Professor Dezhen Song, Deputy Department Chair of Robotics and Professor of Robotics at Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, demonstrated a strawberry-picking robot whose “brains” were created by the university’s robotics department.
The robotic harvester may represent a major advancement in agricultural automation by combining artificial intelligence with cutting-edge robotics and precision agriculture technology.
Using high-resolution cameras and sensors, the robot can study plants in real time and recognise ripe strawberries by looking at characteristics like size, shape, and colour. The robot can determine how to grasp it because the camera detects its location. Which angle should I use to grasp it?
Sophisticated machine learning algorithms maximise productivity and minimise waste by accurately identifying ripe fruits while disregarding immature or broken ones.
The robot’s adaptable gripping mechanism is one of its most notable features; it enables it to handle strawberries with amazing accuracy. As Professor Song demonstrated the robot in operation, he added, “You can see it’s not a rigid mount, so every time you put it back to a different position, you have to be able to know where it is on the fly to formulate a good grasping plane.
