Visoual & Tactile sensing for Selective harvesting

Robotic picking from strawberry clusters.

Visoual & Tactile sensing for Selective harvesting (VTS4SH) is a project under EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Agri-Food Robotics: AgriFoRwArdS. Willow Mandil is the Phd student workign on this project. This project aims to develop a robotic technology for picking strawberries in dense clusters. VTS4SH will develop novel Action Conditioned Predictive models & Model Predictive Control for exomplex cluster manipulation useful across different application domains. He will be applying his model to strawberry picking scenrio.
