How can a versatile mobile robot system become an essential component for such a specific and delicate task as fruit harvesting in agriculture without first validating its adaptability conditions?
Without a clear assessment of terrain variability and weather resistance, there is a risk of spending a lot on a tool that will not hold up.
The real danger is that the initial investment is wasted if the robot damages more fruits than it harvests or if its maintenance costs explode under mud and dust.
A robot like that could be a valuable piece for a workshop, but in an orange grove, you first need to ensure it will not break the harvest.
