Tevel Flying Autonomous Robots for Fruit Harvesting
Israeli startup Tevel has developed Flying Autonomous Robots (FAR) designed to pick fruit using sophisticated machine vision and gentle grippers. These drones can operate 24/7 using LED lights for night work and are currently being tested in orchards in Italy and the United States. While the technology aims to reduce labor costs, skeptics question the battery life and the robots' ability to reach fruit deep within dense foliage.
