What makes this tomato-sorting machine so freakishly fast?
- Zaheer 9y agoIt’s fascinating how simple / elegant this design is. Although you probably could use machine learning, etc for this a basic optical sensor is ‘good enough’. With all the exciting new tech out there it’s easy to forget that many things can be done much simpler.
- masonic 9y ago"When tomatoes ripen in California, for example, they’re harvested in a 12-week period that has sorters running round the clock, up to 24 hours a day, processing as much as 800 tonnes of vegetables an hour." Fine and dandy... except tomatoes are fruits.
