Fruit first
Soft contact and controlled motion guide our approach to end-effector design.
+PHYSICAL AI. ROOTED IN THE REAL WORLD.
Intelligence.
Within reach.
Bringing perception, precision and a gentle touch to the orchard. We’re developing robotic arms for the next generation of apple harvesting.

01 /THE NEXT FIELD OF INTELLIGENCE
The real world
is not a simulation.
Every apple is different.
So is every reach.
Branches move. Light changes. Fruit grows in unexpected places. Harvesting calls for intelligence that can see, adapt and interact with a living environment.
Our focus is selective apple harvesting: connecting visual understanding with controlled robotic movement, from the first observation to the final placement.
Perceive the orchard
Understand fruit, branches and the space between them.
Move with intention
Plan a considered path through a changing environment.
Handle with care
Design every interaction around the fruit, not just the task.
02 /FROM PERCEPTION TO ACTION
One harvest.
A thousand decisions.
Explore the four stages of our proposed harvesting loop.
APPLE / TARGET REGION
SYSTEM CONCEPT01 / 04
VISUAL PERCEPTIONFind the fruit.
Find the fruit.
Understand the scene.
Identify apples within the canopy and estimate their position. Build a spatial understanding of the fruit and surrounding branches before the arm moves.
Illustrative workflow. System under development; field performance is not yet validated.
03 /ENGINEERED FOR LIVING SYSTEMS
Less force.
More understanding.
Adapt to the environment
Develop perception and planning together, with the variability of real orchards in mind.
Learn through iteration
Progress from concept to prototypes, then carefully designed orchard trials.
