Orange Harvesting

Our vision systems are first used to scan and identify oranges within a grove.Scanning heads placed at the end of multi-axis arms use arrays of stereoscopic cameras to create a virtual 3D image of the entire orange tree. The positions and sizes of the oranges are stored and passed onto the harvesting arms. Immediately following the scanning process, eight long reticulating arms are maneuvered to gracefully pick each orange quickly, efficiently, and economically.

The Company

Vision Robotics Corporation (VRC) has developed a proprietary and patented technology to produce robotics solutions employing vision-based mapping, localization, and navigation systems. By integrating well-known algorithms with the most recent developments from leading university research laboratories, VRC has created a uniquely robust and cost effective approach to robotics.  Our systems see, understand and can work in the real world.   [more info ]

 

Applications

Vision Robotics’ proprietary mapping and navigation technology is applicable to a wide variety of household and office applications. The capability to navigate quickly and effectively through indoor and outdoor environments enables the robots to perform almost any task imaginable. For example, VRC robots can be used to automate chores, serve as a virtual butler or assist with medical care.  The same systems can be modified to work in agriculture where the robots require intelligence to gently touch each piece of fruit independently.    [more info]
