“…Although, hand harvesting is the most widely used method of harvesting in strawberry, there have been several studies on mechanical and intelligent robotic harvesting methods. One of the first such systems was developed to harvest strawberries grown under hydroponics system [21]. Similarly, a computer vision-assisted robot system has been developed by [22] to detect and approach ripened strawberries grown under bench-type cultivation system.…”

Strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa), a genus of the Rosaceae family, is the most commonly consumed berry fruit crop worldwide and is valued for its unique flavor and nutritional quality. Strawberries are expensive and filled with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. The susceptibility of strawberry fruit to postharvest diseases and decline of quality attributes increases after harvest and through extended storage, and as a consequence changes in physiological and biochemical parameters. Exogenous spraying, coating, or dipping was widely used to prolong the shelf life of strawberries. The temperature, atmospheric gas, and exogenous postharvest treatment (spraying, coating, or dipping) contribute to the maintenance of the fruit's postharvest quality. Previous studies examined the effects of exogenous treatments on strawberry quality. In this review, we will thus discuss the influence of postharvest treatment on strawberry postharvest shelf life and quality management during storage conditions.

Review of Robotic Technology for Strawberry Production

With an increasing world population in need of food and a limited amount of land for cultivation, higher efficiency in agricultural production, especially fruits and vegetables, is increasingly required. The success of agricultural production in the marketplace depends on its quality and cost. The cost of labor for crop production, harvesting, and postharvesting operations is a major portion of the overall production cost, especially for specialty crops such as strawberry. As a result, a multitude of automation technologies involving semi-autonomous and autonomous robots have been utilized, with an aim of minimizing labor costs and operation time to achieve a considerable improvement in farming efficiency and economic performance. Research and technologies for weed control, harvesting, hauling, sorting, grading, and/or packing have been generally reviewed for fruits and vegetables, yet no review has been conducted thus far specifically for robotic technology being used in strawberry production. In this article, studies on strawberry robotics and their associated automation technologies are reviewed in terms of mechanical subsystems (e.g., traveling unit, handling unit, storage unit) and electronic subsystems (e.g., sensors, computer, communication, and control). Additionally, robotic technologies being used in different stages in strawberry production operations are reviewed. The robot designs for strawberry management are also categorized in terms of purpose and environment.

“…The overall performance by AgriBot was found to be effective and satisfactory; the gripping-cutting cycle was 2 s; torque requirement was reduced by 3%. Kondo and Monta [111] developed two types of strawberry harvesting robots: one for hydroponic system and the other for soil systems. The robot consists of a 3 DOF manipulator, aspirating-type pneumatic end-effectors and visual sensors.…”

In Asia, decreasing farmer and labor populations due to various factors is a serious problem that leads to increases in labor costs, higher harvesting input energy consumption and less resource utilization. To solve these problems, researchers are engaged in providing long term and low-tech alternatives in terms of mechanization and automation of agriculture by way of efficient, low cost and easy to use solutions. This paper reviews various design strategies in recognition and picking systems, as well as developments in fruit harvesting robots during the past 30 years in several countries. The main objectives of this paper are to gather all information on fruit harvesting robots; focus on the technical developments so far achieved in picking devices; highlight the problems still to be solved; and discuss the future prospects of fruit harvesting robots.
