As we step into a new year, Agricultural Robotics celebrates a pivotal moment in our journey to support growers in their approach to mango harvesting.
This March marks the conclusion of our Accelerating Commercialisation grant, which has been instrumental in driving our efforts to develop cutting-edge automation solutions tailored to Australia’s horticulture sector. We are grateful to AusIndustry, Hort Innovation, CQUniversity, our excellent contractors and colleagues like Martina Matzner, as well as our Advisory Board, the innovative growers who support and work with us, plus our dedicated engineering team.
The achievements of the past two years have laid a strong foundation for the future. From refining our digital orchard management system, to enhancing in-field machine vision for mango harvesting technologies we’ve taken strides in delivering value to farmers and advancing sustainability in agriculture.
- Manual data entry of mango flowers and fruit is available now – Orion at the Playstore
- Get on board with your free trial of FruitMaps – fruitmaps.com
- Contact us to purchase an in field machine vision system – Orion Imaging Rig
- The mango auto harvester is set for market entry from 2026
Looking ahead, innovation remains at the heart of our roadmap. With the upcoming completion of the grant, we’re poised to transition into the next phase of development, exploring new possibilities to expand our offerings and adapt our solutions to meet the evolving needs of the tree fruit industry.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners, investors, and farmers who have supported us on this journey. Together, we’re shaping a future where technology and agriculture work hand in hand to deliver productivity and sustainability.
Here’s to a fruitful and innovative 2025!
