Overview

About the Project

The Coconut Plucker is a remote-controlled machine designed to safely and efficiently harvest coconuts without the need for human climbing. It physically engages with and climbs the tree itself, utilizing a robotic arm to reach and pluck the coconuts

This system eliminates the physical strain and fall risks associated with traditional manual harvesting. Additionally, it features a recognizing system to identify good coconuts and can even collect data on the tree's yield for upcoming seasons, significantly improving overall farm productivity
