Scorpion Harvest
Autonomous motorbike-mounted robots that patrol durian orchards and use soft-grip catapults to catch falling durians mid-air before they hit the ground, eliminating the dangerous job of workers harvesting durians that can kill people when they fall.
The Wow Moment
A plantation owner watches a 2kg durian snap off its branch 60 feet up, and instead of plummeting toward a worker's head, a robot on a motorbike below instantly tracks its trajectory, shoots out a soft-grip catapult arm, and gently cradles the fruit mid-air - the worker never flinches, just keeps walking safely.
