SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING FRUIT

Abstract: a system for harvesting fruit from plants including robots having end effectors and cameras, a programmatic logic controller and a server. the server includes an inference module that generates output associated with identification of fruit within images captured by the cameras, a 3d module that generates three dimensional image information representing a world frame in which the fruit is positioned, and an aggregator module that generates pick data within a world map generated based on the world frame, where the pick data is used by the programmatic logic controller to control the robots to pick the fruit without causing damage to the plants or surrounding environment.
