Vision Robotics makes fruit picking robots


"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."
