Robots detect a good harvest

Robots detect a good harvest

Fancy having a robot pick out crops for you? After all, research has shown that annual waste for selected crops can touch the 60% figure, which could result in lost revenue of up to £100,000 for an average farm annually. The drop in the number of migrant laborers also translate to the fact that healthy crops are unable to be gathered, which results in farms losing crops due to the wrong harvesting time. NPL ‘s scientists are collaborating with KMS projects and Vegetable Harvesting Systems (VHS) in order to transform the technology into an intelligent harvesting machine that is able to check out the underside of leafy layers of a crop. This robot will then identify the different materials for a more precise size identification. Anything that does away with food wastage is always a huge plus in our books.
