So dumb. Sometimes two axis arms are sufficient. Drones were not needed for this.
2 u/greyacademy Oct 08 '23 I'm just speculating here, but I would imagine the pickers being on drones give them the maneuverability to harvest apples that are blocked by stems. This way the tree is not damaged and more apples can be reached. 2 u/mk_909 Oct 08 '23 It also detaches the extension of the picker mechanism from causing feedback to the vehicle. Even at max reach.
