Tevel Aerobotics Technologies

Tevel Aerobotics Technologies Overview

Tevel is addressing the critical shortage in agricultural labor through its revolutionary fruit-picking Flying Autonomous Robots (FAR). Powered by AI, machine learning, and computer vision algorithms, Tevel's flying robots delicately pick fruit with unparalleled accuracy and maneuverability. They offer easy and reliable operation, 24/7 harvesting capabilities, and cost efficiency to farmers. The robots can identify the ripeness level of each fruit to perform selective picking and can also identify diseases on the fruit in real time. Tevel's autonomous harvesting technology is successfully picking a variety of fruits, including apples, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, and pears, across Italy, the United States (California and Washington), Chile, and Israel. In addition to harvesting, Tevel’s robots also act as data agents by continuously collecting granular information in real-time on every fruit they pick. Tevel’s user-friendly software reports to growers data such as amount of fruit picked, total fruit weight, size and weight distribution, ripeness level, disease detection, heatmap, geolocation, and more. This empowers growers with precise knowledge of each bin's contents before delivery to the packing house. Tevel has over 60 employees with headquarters in Israel and subsidiary branches in Italy and the United States. Tevel’s user-friendly software reports to growers data such as amount of fruit picked, total fruit weight, size and weight distribution, ripeness level, disease detection, heatmap, geolocation, and more. The FAR stands alone as the world's only robot that safely interacts with foliage, continuously flying in and out of trees without causing harm.

Tevel Aerobotics ready for deployment - Mobile Robot Guide

Tevel Aerobotics, an Israeli ag-tech startup, has partnered with S&S Metal Fabrication to develop an autonomous tree fruit harvesting solution called the Alpha-Bot. The drone-based system is designed to work continuously, gathering ripe fruit from trees and providing real-time data about each item picked. The Alpha-Bot is built on a chassis from S&S and includes a central conveyor system for accumulating harvested fruit. The mobile platform of the Alpha-Bot is not fully autonomous yet, but there are plans to make it completely autonomous in the future.

Flying Robots Pick Fruit 24/7, And Know Exactly When It's Ripe

Tevel Aerobotics Technologies, an Israeli startup, has developed flying autonomous robots (FARs) that pick fruit, helping to ease a labor crisis in the fruit farming industry. The robots are fitted with cameras that assess the size and color of each piece of fruit and only pick what’s perfectly ripe. They also provide real-time updates on harvesting progress, time to completion, quantity picked and cost. The company has grown to 60 employees and has attracted $30 million in funding. The robots are currently deployed in Israel, Italy, and California, with plans to expand to Spain, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, China, and Japan.
