Innovation Award Honorees - Automatic green bell pepper harvesting robot「L」

Our “L” robot is an automatic bell peppers harvesting system. Our proprietary AI algorithm, utilizing a combination of different types of cameras, enables the robot to identify and pick harvest-ready peppers with millimeter precision through layered leaves. It patrols farms daily to monitor crops’ growth, providing farmers with advice on optimal farm management. L makes farming more effective and efficient while reducing human capital and labor needs. “L” works with any existing farm layout without modifications. This, coupled with the lightweight edge computing that keeps the system’s price down, makes AI harvesting more accessible to farmers.
