Video: Robot harvests TOVs

Earlier this summer we told you all about Metomotion's plans to create a multi-purpose robotic system to perform labor-intensive tasks in a greenhouse. With over 35% of the hi-tech greenhouse acreage globally filled with tomatoes, the first objective of the company was to create a robotic tomato harvester

The company started working on the system and a POC was performed in a commercial greenhouse early this year. Currently the alpha field testings are taking place and we've got some video material for you. Check out how the GRoW system harvests tomatoes on the vine and places them in its inner cart. 




Next year the beta pilots are planned. Commercial introduction is set for 2019.
