Harvesting olive tree using accurate vibrations generated by a robotic system

The paper presents the results of the study regarding the olive harvesting trees systems and the concept of an olive tree robot. Important is the result, namely the harvesting speed and accuracy. Mechanical and automatic harvesting methods collect more olives than the traditional methods but may damage the olive trees. The necessity of an olive tree robot is based that the agricultural industry is very complex and need a lot of attention and qualified employments but is an activity only seasonal and are hands work. The same think is in grove-olive, where necessary many workers with experience to collect olives with their hands. In this case take a lot of time to collect the entire olive grove. Our study shows that the best system to increase the production of olives is to harvest the olives trees mechanics with robots.
