Product Demonstrations

The Autopickr team rely heavily, and work closely with farmers and other industry experts to advance the development of their products. This relationship is key and the 'in-development' demonstrations give an excellent opportunity for all parties to get involved.

Our next demonstration is likely to be in June 2024

    CEO Autopikr

  • "The accuracy and speed potential of the harvesting was excellent. I look forward to seeing further development"

2025 Demonstration Expectations

  • Rugged + Compact

    Our autonomous harvesting device will showcase large tires, capable of performing on all terrains, and a solid steel body, ensuring it can withstand any unexpected impact.

  • Weather Proof

    To ensure 24/7 labour, our autonomous harvesting device will be fully IP rated against water and dust, making it capable of working in all weather conditions.

  • Efficient Day + Night

    Where human labour would need to stop, our autonomous harvesting device will be equipped with lighting, allowing it to work for all hours of the day.

  • Localised Navigation

    Many growers have experienced issues with GPS devices. We are building a localised navigation system that is quick to install and reliable.

  • Safety Sensors + Alerts

    To ensure human and crop safety, our autonomous harvesting device will not engage with unknown objects. The grower will be efficiently alerted of labour interruptions.

  • Secure from Cyber Threat

    For peace of mind and to further ensure crop safety, our hardware will run on a localised system. No external computers will be able to manipulate the device.

Future Possibilities

  • Chad + Trolley

    We envision a second autonomous robot (named Chad) that will collect pay loads and replace them with an empty basket. This will further reduce the need for human labour.

  • Storage

    For smaller growers without optimal storage for harvests and equipment, we would like to offer a central hub. This hub would also work as a solar powered charging station.

  • Dynamic Decision Making

    To be as efficient as possible, our autonomous harvesting device could use AI to prioritise certain field routes and cutting paths.

  • Weed Management

    Whilst harvesting, our autonomous harvesting device could also take care of future crops by weeding the beds.

  • Crop Health Forecasts

    By monitoring multiple factors including previous harvests and weather forecasts, our autonomous harvesting device could predict the success of future harvests.

  • Beetle Detection

    Beetles can be detected and removed through the presence of pheromones. This is an advancing external technology that should be easy to implement once available.
