Cotton-picking electric robot could boost farm output by up to 20%

A Turkish cotton farmer has developed an innovative electric and autonomous field robot capable of potentially increasing cotton harvests by up to 20% on existing farms.

The inventor of Afara asserts that conventional self-propelled harvesters often leave between 5% and 20% of cotton yields on the plants due to inherent limitations in existing farm equipment, plant density on farms, and other factors.

The only viable method to harvest this remaining cotton is through manual labor, a strenuous, labor-intensive, and costly process.

Afara, the fully electric cotton pick robot, addresses this challenge by featuring four RGB cameras, two LiDAR sensors, and various ultrasonic sensors, Electrek reported.
