Functionalities and technologies
- Functionality : Tortuga’s robots are designed for the complex task of harvesting fruits and vegetables. Tortuga focuses first on harvest, the farm’s most costly, critical, and difficult task. Then, other tasks are easier technical and operational solutions to add on - such as data collection and forecasting, mobility, pest control, and so on. Harvest robotics are the true catalyst to shifting fruit and veg farms from human-centered operating systems to robot-centered operating systems.
- Embedded technologies : 17 AI/ML models running on the edge. Frontier software: two-arm, same-workspace asynchronous motion planning. Precise autonomous navigation on farm. Purpose-designed, low-cost, maintainable hardware.
- Tools : We can adapt our robot to harvest, add lights for UV-C treatment, and trim plants
- Connections : N/A
Development phase
- Next development phase : Operations scale up of our existing robot fleet from crew size (24 robots per farm) to farm size (100+ robots per farm)
