Dogtooth H1 Strawberry Picker
The Dogtooth H1 is an autonomous strawberry harvesting robot developed at Cambridge University that uses advanced AI vision and custom-designed soft grippers to pick ripe strawberries without bruising. The robot navigates polytunnel rows, scanning plants with multi-spectral cameras to assess ripeness by color, size, and shape. Its specially developed compliant gripper mimics the gentle touch of human fingers, picking only market-ready berries and leaving unripe fruit for later harvest. Each unit can operate continuously through day and night shifts, addressing the critical seasonal labor shortage in UK and European berry farms. The H1 has been trialed across multiple UK commercial strawberry farms.
