15 Jul 2019 --- A vegetable-picking robot equipped with machine learning to identify and harvest a “commonplace, but challenging” agricultural crop has been developed by engineers at the University of Cambridge, UK. Dubbed the “Vegebot,” the automated harvester was initially programmed to recognize and harvest iceberg lettuce in a lab setting. The technology has now been successfully applied in a variety of field conditions in cooperation with G’s Growers, a local fruit and vegetable co-operative.
