Agricultural robot market expected to reach $16.3 billion by 2020
High value crops are a target of agricultural robotic development. New agricultural robots are able to improve the delivery of consistent quality food, and to implement efficiency in managing food production.
Strawberries are a high profit crop. A new generation of machines has just been born: Strawberry Harvesters, with advanced technology to give maximum performance to a farm. Harvesting robots can optimize the productivity of the farming business. Automated picking collection systems improve labor productivity, give speed and agility to harvest operations.
The robotic platforms are capable of site-specific spraying. This is targeted spraying only on foliage and selected targets. It can be used for selective harvesting of fruit. The robots detect the fruit, sense its ripeness, then move to grasp and softly detach only ripe fruit.
According to Susan Eustis, principal author of the market research study, “Agricultural robotic projects are ongoing. The key to industrial farm robots is keeping costs down. Adapting existing commercial vehicles instead of building new ones is the best way to build viable agricultural robots.”
