THE ROAD TO ROBOTICS

摘要

Designers of today's and tomorrow's orchard equipment say there have been a lot of bumps along the way to getting where we are today.IT'S NO SECRET that the growing season is one steady race to harvest. There are months and months of preparation, planning, pruning, thinning, and weather. But, essentially your entire year boils down to about 50 or so days of apple harvest. It's also one of the costliest parts of fruit growing. You have to get fruit off when it's ready — and that in itself is its own exact science.So, it seems only natural that orchard equipment would focus on improving efficiencies and reducing orchard harvest costs.
