TechBrew Mushroom Harvester

TechBrew has developed a vision-guided robot capable of picking, trimming, and placing mushrooms in boxes. The robot attaches to the farm’s existing shelving, eliminating the need for changes to infrastructure. They are transportable, moving easily between growing rooms when needed.

To date, two limited-scope demonstrations have been completed on two farms. Both went exceptionally well, achieving the goal of 95% successful pick rate. The next step is to harvest a 3-flush growth cycle on our partner farm. This will demonstrate completely autonomous operation of the harvesting system including thinning, stem trimming, packaging, and conveyance out of the growing room.
