The automated asparagus harvesting robot we developed to replace manual labor, consists of a 3-D vision sensor to detect candidate asparagus by height, a robotic arm with an end-effector to grasp candidates and cut their stems, and a mobile cart to navigate asparagus furrows. Experiments in a greenhouse confirmed the robot's feasibility.
