Harvesting robots are getting smarter all the time. EPFL researchers are using a silicone raspberry to make them even smarter. Raspberries are difficult to harvest due to their delicate structure. CREATE engineers have designed a silicone raspberry that can tell the robot how much pressure is applied. Its properties can be adjusted to simulate the fruits’ resistance.
