Flying Autonomous Robots
Tevel Aerobotics
Tethered flying robots that pick fruit while operating from a ground harvesting platform. Tevel’s system uses vision to locate fruit and assess harvesting criteria, then transfers picked fruit into bins. Its practical deployment is tied to suitable orchard layouts and harvest operations.
