Kinito: Autonomous harvesting vehicle for farms
Project Motivation
Kinito uses robotics to automate processes in urban farms so that the workers can be more productive, helping urban farms produce more crops.
Design Solution
Kinito comprises a robot assistant that can carry baskets stacked on top of each other to assist the crop harvester to transport the crops to a collection point. It is targeted at farms where crops are harvested in multiple straight rows.
