Part 4/5:
Innovative Picking Techniques and Consumer Transparency
The robot uses a seemingly simple yet effective method to mark harvested berries: at the end of each stalk, there’s a tiny crimp mark indicating that a berry has been picked. This subtle marker provides an easy way to track harvest progress and ensures that berries are harvested efficiently without over-picking.
Interestingly, the interface controlling these robots resembles a PlayStation joystick, highlighting how accessible and intuitive these systems are for operators. The relaxed tone of dialogue suggests that even individuals who grew up playing video games find operating these machines familiar and straightforward.
