Looks like this was an undergraduate learning project rather than a practical solution to harvesting coconuts.
It reminds me of ABU Robocon, where undergraduates representing different countries compete to build the fastest robot using off-the-shelf parts that can solve an abstract problem. The point wasn't to fix a real-world issue but to serve as a learning tool, push technological boundaries and hopefully land a job while doing it.
Some cool videos from the last few years:
