GRoW is an advanced robot made for precision greenhouse harvesting. This machine will autonomously move throughout the greenhouse scanning and choosing vegetables ready to be picked from the vine. GRoW moves up and down the rows of the greenhouse unmanned and then is driven to the next row via a phone app. The phone app also lets you configure which ripeness to harvest and where on the vine to make the cut. GRoW will record and predict productivity to ensure optimum performance.
