Descripción del proyecto DEENESFRITPL Robots para recolectar tomates Los invernaderos permiten satisfacer la creciente demanda de verduras de calidad durante todo el año. Sin embargo, el sector de la producción de verduras de los invernaderos emplea mucha mano de obra. El proyecto GRoW, financiado con fondos europeos, podría eliminar esta necesidad de personal mediante la robótica. Los trabajadores robóticos de invernaderos pueden reducir a la mitad los costes y disminuir la cantidad de mano de obra necesaria en hasta un 80 %. Las innovaciones principales incluyen un sistema avanzado de visión en 3D para identificar claramente la fruta madura entre las hojas y los tallos, terminales sensibles al tacto para evitar dañar y perder la fruta y múltiples brazos robóticos extensibles para incrementar la velocidad de recolección. Mostrar el objetivo del proyecto Ocultar el objetivo del proyecto Objetivo The goal of current project is to realize the technological scale-up of the first ever efficient and cost-effective robotic harvesting system applied to greenhouse farming of tomatoes. In fact, to date, no commercial product for automated operations ontomatoes is available because of several technological constraints linked with the unstable environment of the indoor farming, as well as with the difficulty to grasp malleable and easily damageable fruits. Metomotion has found solutions to all the challenging technical steps, thereby enabling profitable harvesting of tomatoes and making it possible to growers to harvest the fruits throughout the year and not beingexposed to the labor shortage. By doing so, the harvesting costs are halved and labor reduced by 80%. In the context of thePrecision Farming approach, automation in the agricultural sector is particularly solicited and Metomotion is offering aproduct capable to satisfy the most compelling needs of the growers. The core innovations brought by Metomotion consist of: - Advanced 3D vision system to clearly identify ripe fruits among leaves and stems - Extensible multiple robotic arms to increase harvest speed - Touch sensitive terminals to avoid damage and loos of fruits - Fully autonomous vehicle embedding boxing system for the automated packing of collected fruits. The activities of the Phase 2 projects are related with the enhancement of the prototype performance through optimization of both hardware parts like robotic arm and AGV, as wells as related SW and User Interface. Interactions with users occurred during Phase 1 project have shown immense interest toward GRoW product from all over the world (about100 expressions of interest collected), thus paving the basis for the successful commercialization of the product. A detailedcommercialization strategy will be developed in the course of this project to allow global sales.
