  • Robotic harvesting system with a gantry system
    Patent number: 11202409
    Abstract: A robotic harvesting system includes a base, a linear transport, a robotic arm, and an end effector. The base is configured to move in a direction of travel. A linear transport is mounted to the base. The linear transport is configured to move along the base in substantially a same direction or opposite direction as the direction of travel. A robotic arm is mounted to the linear transport. The robotic arm has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the robotic arm is configured to rotate toward and away from the base from a first joint. An end effector is mounted on the distal end of the robotic arm.
