Episode notes
Delicate Grape Harvesting
- Automating grape harvesting is tricky due to the grapes' sensitivity, especially for premium wines.
- These grapes are valued around $6,000 per ton, making delicate handling crucial.
Viticultural Robotics Project
- Queen Mary University of London and Extend Robotics partner to automate grape harvesting.
- They combine spectroscopic analysis and pressure-sensitive robotics.
VR-Controlled Data Acquisition
- The project uses VR control (Meta Quest 3) for precise robot guidance.
- This approach helps generate training data for future autonomous operation.
