System and method for automatically gripping and cutting fruits and plants

This invention describes a robot designed to automatically pick fruits or vegetables from plants. It uses an arm with a special gripping tool at the end. This tool has two fingers, each equipped with two blades on opposite sides, configured to cut the plant stem at two distinct points as the fingers close.

Why it matters: Since 2022, significant advancements in AI-driven computer vision and robotic manipulation have improved the ability of autonomous systems to identify and precisely interact with delicate produce, making the practical application of this specific cutting mechanism more viable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
