Four Growers

Corporate marketagricultureCurated record

GR-100 uses four stereo cameras and a computer-vision AI stack to classify tomato and cucumber ripeness in real time (98% accuracy); autonomous manipulation plans trajectories around unripe fruit on the vine and executes harvesting without human intervention; motion planning runs 34x faster than standard algorithms; cucumber variant uses a three-fingered gripper with cutting mechanism; learning-based visual model continuously improves across deployments.
