Abstract: A robotic unit for harvesting a fruit having a stem, the robot unit may include a vacuum unit that is configured to move the fruit, by applying vacuum, towards a cutting region; and a mechanical cutting unit that is configured to mechanically cut the stem following a positioning of the fruit into the cutting region.

Abstract: Systems, and methods for harvesting a fruit.

Abstract: A robotic arm and a method for harvesting a fruit. The robotic arm includes (i) a cutting unit that includes a fruit support element, stem cutting elements and an intermediate frame, (ii) a manipulator that is configured to (a) move the cutting unit of the robotic arm to a stem cutting position, and (b) move the stem cutting elements during a cutting of a stem connected to the fruit. When positioned in the stem cutting position, the intermediate frame is configured to substantially surround an intermediate portion of the fruit, the fruit support element is configured to support a lower portion of the fruit, and the stem cutting elements are configured to perform a movement between a first position to a second position thereby cutting the stem. The movement includes an elevating of the stem cutting elements.
