Autonomous harvesting
More hands at harvest.
We put humanoid robots into agricultural harvesting. Trained from human demonstrations, the robot grasps the pod on the plant.
16/20
Okra pods grasped. Indoor test setup.
It takes about a minute.
What you get
You are not buying a robot.
We do not deliver an agricultural robot and leave. We build a harvesting motion that works on your farm, and stay through running it.
No upfront investment
Delivered as a service. There is no equipment for you to own.
Engineers on site
Our engineers come in and tune it to your farm.
Built from your own motion
We record how harvesting is done now, and train the robot from it.
How it is built
Trained from human motion, not written as code.
Record the demonstration
A handheld gripper records the harvesting motion. It can be done before a robot arrives.
Learn the motion
The motion skill is learned from those recordings with imitation learning (ACT).
Tune it on site
Grip, height and speed are settled on site by an engineer.
Crops
Tell us which crop comes after okra.
- Okra
- In trial. Grasping the pod on the plant.
- Greenhouse tomato
- Stable conditions, and work all year round.
- Cucumber
- Picked daily, several times a day, by someone who cannot leave.
- Broad bean, snap pea
- A short peak that needs many hands at once.
- Myoga ginger
- Long stretches of low, stooped work.
- Sorting and packing
- Indoors, controlled, and running year round.
Where we are
Where the implementation stands
Working now
- Reaches for a pod on the plant
- Grasps the pod (indoor, 16 of 20)
- Brings the arm back holding it
- Locates the pod from the wrist camera alone
Still ahead
- Continuous harvesting in the field
- Variation between individual plants
- Outdoor light and changing weather
- Judging whether a pod is ready
16 of 20 was measured indoors, with the plant fixed in place. We have no field success rate yet.

We are looking for early partners.
We will send you progress, and let you know when a trial slot opens. Nothing to commit to now.
