By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx jour nalists report that a patent by the inventors Chi, Yun Nuo (Pittsburgh, PA, US), Darr, James (Pittsburgh, PA, US), Olshenske, Zachary (North Huntingdon, PA, US) , Rudolph, Robert (Sunnyvale, CA, US), filed on October 7, 2020, was published o nline on May 28, 2024. The patent's assignee for patent number 11993468 is Four Growers Inc. (Pittsburg h, Pennsylvania, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "While advancements have been made in the ability to roboti cally pick produce, and other objects, there still exists a shortcoming in those systems as to what to do with the gathered items. Currently, items gathered are either stored in large hoppers or must be frequently unloaded by humans. Storin g items in large hoppers can lead to adverse effects on produce, or similar soft goods, as the product can become damaged under the weight of the gross product above it. Human interaction is also undesirable as it limits the throughput of t he robotic harvesters and is a roadblock to these units becoming cost effective. In addition to the above deficiencies, the use of non-standard equipment and de dicated personnel to support these robotic harvesters can be taxing for existing traditional crop harvesting facilities (e.g., greenhouses) to integrate, thus f urther limiting their ability to expand usage.
