Innovate Future Farming
with Robots for Plant Factory
SCROLL DOWN
ABOUT
HarvestX is an agritech project developing robots to grow and harvest strawberries.
We research and develop robots for plant factories to realize fully automated fruits cultivation to solve the food supply and labor shortage problem in the future. We are now focusing on strawberries and developing robots that support pollination and harvesting that are big burdens for farmers now.
NEWS
TECHNOLOGY
Recognition of Flowers and Fruits
Our robots recognize positions of flowers and fruits with cameras for pollination and picking. They also detect maturity of fruits with machine learning.
Special Attachment for Pollination
Our robots pollinate strawberries with a special brush attachment. This technology is patent pending.
Harvesting Without Damage
Our robots harvest strawberries by picking stems in order not to damage fruits.
MISSION
We solve food supply problem through fully automated fruits cultivation.
Our mission is enriching people by supplying delicious fruits from metropolises to deserts and space in the future that is expected food shortages and space immigration.
