Shake and catch harvesting.

Currently, apple harvesting is performed manually around the word, which requires a large, semi-skilled workforce for a short time. To reduce harvest costs and dependence on labor, researchers have been seeking mechanical/robotic solutions for decades. Shake-and-catch technology is one of the ways, which has been successful in harvesting fruit for the processing market, but no commercial success has been achieved in harvesting fresh market apples because of fruit damage.
