Advanced Farm T-22 Apple Harvester
The Advanced Farm T-22 is an autonomous apple harvesting robot designed to work alongside human pickers in commercial orchards. Using 3D vision and AI fruit detection, it identifies ripe apples on the tree, determines optimal pick sequences, and harvests fruit using a gentle vacuum-grip end effector that prevents bruising. The T-22 navigates autonomously between tree rows and can harvest at a rate approaching 50% of an experienced human picker's speed, operating 24/7 without breaks. It has been deployed in Washington State apple orchards, the world's largest apple-growing region, helping growers address critical labor shortages during harvest season.
