Amazing strawberry harvesting robot!

A strawberry harvesting robot was developed by our research group (Mr. Kurita and Shiigi) and was introduced as articles of the other day news papers. This robot consisting of a machine vision, a cylindrical manipulator, an end-effector, and rail type travelling device, can automatically harvest fruits grown on table top culture in the night time and fruits are set in trays. The detail will be soon published in some research journal.
