About
MetoMotion is developing a multipurpose robotic system to perform labor-intensive tasks in greenhouses in order to reduce the limitations and high costs associated with human labor in vegetable production. The company's first application is a robotic harvester for greenhouse tomatoes. MetoMotion's robotic harvester is composed of an automatic guided vehicle, multiple robotic arms, an advanced vision system, and a proprietary harvesting component tailored to the specific vegetable. The system is being designed for easy operation and smooth integration into existing greenhouse practices. MetoMotion's systems can also be easily adapted to perform a range of greenhouse tasks including harvesting additional vegetables, pruning, monitoring, and pollination. MetoMotion's Cannabis Automated De-Leafing System uses AI technology to detect the structure of the cannabis plant to gently trim the leaves from predesignated areas that have been defined by the grower, thus avoiding damage to the plant's stems.
