A French love for plants meets Israeli innovation: a robot that harvests upward-growing vegetables with AI and 3D vision.
French fascination with gardening
The French have a deep love for gardening, often referred to as "jardinophiles." This passion extends to discovering and cultivating unique plants, fruits, and vegetables that make gardening both enjoyable and accessible.Snake radish grows upward
The snake radish is a unique vegetable that grows vertically rather than underground. This characteristic makes it easy to harvest without the need to bend down or dig, as one simply needs to raise their arms and pluck it from above.Israeli startup develops agricultural robot
An Israeli start-up called MetoMotion has created a robot named GRoW, which stands for Greenhouse Robotic Worker. This robot is designed to perform tasks in greenhouses, such as picking fruits and vegetables with care and precision.Technology behind the robot
The GRoW robot uses advanced technology, including algorithms, artificial intelligence, and 3D vision, to navigate and pick produce efficiently. These technologies enable the robot to identify and handle delicate plants and vegetables without damaging them.
