Apple thinning as a starting point for orchard robotics
Fuller’s FIRA USA recap highlights thinning as a first application, along with retrofit autonomy and the logistics of moving equipment and spare parts between farms. Coverage reports more than 2,500 participants from 20 countries, while the post cites 70 countries. The US$100m estimate for robotic apple harvesting and the three-machine payback claim remain unverified.
