Market Dynamics of Global Robotic Fruit Picker

Key Drivers of Global Robotic Fruit Picker

Technological innovation in agriculture is driving the market for fruit picking robots

Technology has transformed the agricultural industry in a manner that increases its productivity and efficiency. These include the application of high-end sensors and cameras that assist the fruit-picking robots in capturing the environment around them and analyzing fruit properties, ripeness, and others. In addition, the robots are integrated with LiDAR and infrared sensors that facilitate accurate fruit detection, as well as navigation, to prevent collisions with nearby obstacles in the farmland. Further, improvements in robotic arms have allowed for simple fruit picking and handling. Additionally, these arms are fitted with soft gripping mechanisms that employ soft grippers made of silicone or rubber that provide a soft touch while holding the fruits. In addition, cloud connectivity has enabled farmers to receive and track real-time information like track the progress, performance, and status of the robots and save data for analysis later. Also, the increasing need for energy-efficient technologies has compelled makers to develop robots with power-efficient management systems and utilize light-weight designs for enhanced mobility. Technological advancement in the agricultural sector is a main pusher for the fruit-picking robots industry since robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have improved to bring automation within reach and make it efficient. For instance, is Octinion’s Ruby, a robot designed for strawberry picking. It uses a combination of soft-touch robotic arms and advanced vision systems to gently pick strawberries while avoiding damage to the fruit. The robot learns from each picking event, improving its ability to identify the best harvesting window and optimizing efficiency over time. These innovations are not only reducing labor costs but also contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices by minimizing waste and ensuring that fruit is harvested at its peak ripeness. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more sophisticated and versatile fruit-picking robots to emerge, further revolutionizing the agriculture sector. Furthermore, for instance, Spain, which dominates the production of citrus and olives, has seen robots fitted with AI-enabled vision systems designed to detect and harvest ripe fruits. Spain's citrus sector alone yields over 6 million tons of oranges every year, and the use of robotic pickers is assisting in the solution of labor shortages while enhancing harvesting efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, In the United States, FFRobotics has created a robotic apple picking system that employs machine learning to assess the ripeness of apples. This system is already implemented in Washington State orchards that harvest more than 2.5 million tons of apples every year. Therofore the capacity to automate fruit harvest in a manner that maximizes the protection of the fruit and boosts efficiency is a consequence of technological advancement in agriculture, leading to the increasing need for fruit-picking robots.

Growing need for productivity and efficiency by farmers is driving the market for fruit picking robots

Fruit-picking robots have reduced labor expenses and have facilitated automation of tasks for farmers. The robots can operate day and night without interruption, leading to improved efficiency and productivity in agriculture. Additionally, unlike human workers that experience changes in speed and energy, fruit-picking robots possess an even speed and energy during the process of fruit picking, ensuring uniformity.

Fruit-picking robots are one of the important means to promote agricultural modernization and improve agricultural efficiency. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, people are demanding higher picking efficiency from fruit-picking robots. And a good fruit-picking path determines the efficiency of fruit-picking. Currently, most picking path planning is a point-to-point approach, which means that the path needs to be re-planned after each completed path planning. If the picking path planning method of the fruit-picking robot is changed from a point-to-point approach to a continuous picking method, it will significantly improve its picking efficiency. The optimal sequential ant colony optimization algorithm(OSACO) is proposed for the path planning problem of continuous fruit-picking. The algorithm adopts a new pheromone update method. It introduces a reward and punishment mechanism and a pheromone volatility factor adaptive adjustment mechanism to ensure the global search capability of the algorithm, while solving the premature and local convergence problems in the solution process. And the multi-variable bit adaptive genetic algorithm is used to optimize its initial parameters so that the parameter selection does not depend on empirical and the combination of parameters can be intelligently adjusted according to different scales, thus bringing out the best performance of the ant colony algorithm. The results show that OSACO algorithms have better global search capability, higher quality of convergence to the optimal solution, shorter generated path lengths, and greater robustness than other variants of the ant colony algorithm.

The raster dataset represents top location score areas suitable for vegetable storage, filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, access to IT (mobile broadband connection).

Access to finance and roads are defined using a linear distance threshold:

• Banks - 10km buffer radius.

• Major roads - 5km buffer radius.

• Access to IT.

• Electrification.

Access to IT and electricity is characterized by applying the mobile broadband coverage map and the Atlas AI Electrification map.

The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors for crop warehouse siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The location score from 0 to 100 is then obtained through a simple arithmetic weighted sum of the normalized/scaled grids.

This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location).
