Manual harvesting of large area fruits is inefficient, which consumes manpower and resources. Mechanized harvesting is the inevitable trend of fruit harvest. Vibration harvesting is one of the important forms in terms of fruit mechanized harvesting. According to the different striking parts of fruit trees, the vibration modes were classified as trunk, crown, and branch types. The harvesting efficiency of fruit is an important index to measure the quality of all fruit harvesting machines. The reduction of fruit damage is considered in the harvesting of vulnerable fruits. In this study, the development of vibration harvesting technologies were studied in terms of vibration mode. The development of fruit damage, harvesting efficiency, and fruit tree modeling were discussed. Finally, the development direction of fruit vibration mechanized harvesting was looked forward. Machinery instead of manpower, fully mechanized harvesting is the inevitable development direction of fruit harvesting.
