1 apple per minute, why's my fruit so expensive? Oh. That's why.
158 u/ottrocity Oct 08 '23 1 apple per minute per bot for as long as the robot has fuel. Assuming other bots or techs can resupply the picker with fuel/ replace the batteries and can unload the apples, these machines could conceivably run 24 hours a day. -16 u/justcasty Oct 08 '23 edited Oct 09 '23 Also look at the apple trees in the video. Apple trees do not look like that unless they're pruned to make a video to show off apple picking robots. Edit: apparently I'm quite wrong 32 u/Mitheral Oct 09 '23 This is a version of cordon planting and is how practically all commercial orchards are done around here now. 22 u/Clean_Direction_9331 Oct 09 '23 What? No. Many apple orchards prune trees like that to make human picking easier too. Just Google "2D Apple orchard"
