Robots picking mushrooms: Tackling the robotic harvest challenge
“The more you get into the mushroom industry, the more you try to solve problems and introduce innovation, the more you realise just how complicated this industry is”, commented Sean O’Connor, at the start of his presentation on 4AG Robotics.
Sean has been involved with the company for four years, and CEO for a year and a half, so considers himself relatively new to mushrooms. Although the company has been working towards a robotic mushroom harvesting system since its inception, it has not been an easy journey. Rather, one marked by numerous challenges, disappointments and false starts.
