These drones use AI image recognition models to determine ripeness and sugar levels in the apples.

Then they use a little arm to pick them.

AI & robotics will completely revolutionize the agriculture industry.”

    Precise robot arm control is a surprisingly hard problem. I can see some advantages to being able to move freely in 3D

      And you’d still have to maneuver the truck more with the arm. With the tethered drone, they could pull up to a tree and take on three-ish trees from one spot.
