25,000 a day is one berry picked every 3.46 seconds, including overhead to switch plants. That sounds amazing and impossible, for something that needs to move

25,000 a day is one berry picked every 3.46 seconds, including overhead to switch plants.
That sounds amazing and impossible, for something that needs to move a gripper around the stems and leaves of an actual ("unguided", natural) plant. But I'm no process automation engineer or roboticist, so I'm just looking forward to the amazement. :)
- DaiPlusPlus 7y agoThink: multiple grippers. With two grippers on opposite sides on a robot then it could harvest both sides of a row of plants at once. Or four grippers: two on each side for different heights.
- Someone 7y agoFTA: The final robot version, expected to go into production next year, will have four grippers, all picking simultaneously.
