A ROBOTIC SOLUTION FOR CUCUMBER HARVESTING
AUCURO is an add-on robotic arm solution for cucumber farming. Easy to integrate into the flyer, it is a cost-effective technology which helps increase productivity by reducing plant destruction during harvesting.
Why AUCURO?
It can be used flexibly to pick every cucumber without destroying the crop
We provide a simple and easy leasing possibility to the farmers saving costs
An add-on to the existing infrastructure of the tractor flyer and hence can be easily set-up
Front View of Robotic Arms plucking cucumbers
The Robotic arms attached to the tractor flyer are used to pluck the cucumbers from the ground.
Rear view of Cucumbers being assembled
A vacuum suction tube is then used to transport the cucumber picked from the field to the box where it is all assembled.
Benefits
Economical
Can save up to 65% of profit for farmers used to pay workers
Fast and Reliable
Capable of harvesting more than 13 fruits/minute
Ease of Deployment
Integrated to the existing commercial infrastructure of the flyer
Scalable
A modular solution which can be individually scalable
Efficient
The system doesn’t destroy the crops after picking them up
The Team
We are an interdisciplinary team of five students at the Technische Universität München aiming at revolutionizing the way we harvest cucumbers!
