Harvest Moon Automation

Corporate marketagricultureCurated record

Develops machine-vision agricultural robotics: the Inspect & Reject system retrofits traditional harvesters into smart harvesters that identify and remove unhealthy plants during harvest, and a precision weeder (NSF SBIR Phase II, 2025) that classifies weeds versus crops and mechanically extracts weeds without chemicals or tillage. Also developing compliant two-phase robotic grippers for fragile produce. Field testing is conducted in partner farms' fields.
