- Federal grantAgriculture · This Project Aims To Develop An Ai-based, Autonomous Lettuce Harvester That Uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) And Computer Vision (cv) Automate The Lettuce Harvesting Process. The Harvester Will Reduce The Need For Manual Labor To Two Operators Per Acre, Minimizing The Impact Of The Issues Related To Manual Workforce. We Estimate That Harvesting Costs Will Be Reduced To $4500/ACRE - Well Below The Current Costs Of Manual Harvesting. Also, The Robot Will Help Increase Productivity, Quality And Co$175K
