The agricultural sector is no stranger to automation. Robotics were first introduced to the industry to help guide vehicles in the 1920s, and it is now common for farmers to use GPS-guided planters, sprayers and combine harvesters, not to mention the wide range of automated machines available elsewhere used in the agricultural supply chain.
But there is one task that is prohibitively difficult for robots: picking soft fruit. It requires a delicate and dexterous touch, as well as the ability to maneuver around the plants so that the fruit is accessible from the best angle.
British startup Dogtooth Technologies is developing robots with exactly such capabilities. In addition, the robots can gently pick berries at night and then take them to a room where the fruit can be inspected for defects. Freethink explores Dogtooth Technologies and the future of robotic farming in this episode of Hard Reset.
