Job. PICKY moves inside protected horticulture, uses 3D vision AI to judge berry size, colour, and ripeness, and harvests at what the company calls the right timing. Because strawberries bruise easily, the company says PICKY cuts the stem instead of gripping the fruit. Dual arms work while accounting for nearby plants and each other’s workspace. After harvest it does initial sort by size, transport, and charging. Optional PICKY HUB swaps full trays so the robot can keep working with less human intervention. Company claim of day and night unmanned harvest.
