Dogtooth Gen 5 Strawberry Harvesting Robot

DESCRIPTION

Dogtooth Gen 5 Strawberry Harvesting Robot is an Agricultural-Robots from Dogtooth Technologies. It is built for Data Collection, Packaging, Sorting. Key figures: 400 kg, 480 min runtime.

Dogtooth's fifth-generation robot harvests strawberries grown on tabletop systems in glasshouses and polytunnels. A vehicle base drives itself along the crop row while a picking module with vision-guided arms locates ripe berries and an end effector grips and cuts each stalk, so the fruit itself is never touched. A patented on-board inspection system images every picked berry to measure weight and diameter, rejects defects and packs the fruit straight into punnets to supermarket criteria; the robot carries four trays. Dogtooth rates the Gen 5 at about 200 kg of fruit a day at nominal crop density, with an 80 to 90% extraction rate and under 2.5% machine-made waste, working overnight as well as by day. It measures 2.4 x 0.7 x 1.8 m, weighs 400 kg, draws about 400 W and runs 8 hours on swappable batteries, adjusting its height and lateral row position automatically. Robots work in teams of 12 under one supervisor, count berries at every ripeness stage for 7 to 14 day yield forecasts, and are managed through a web portal. The robot is CE marked and sold on a capital-plus-subscription model.
