Stickbug: 6 Armed Robotic Pollinator for Greenhouses

Business & Research, pollinator, robot

Here is a 6-armred robot that can autonomously navigate and pollinate flowers in a greenhouse. The Stickbug has arms that act as independent agents. It relies on “a compact holonomic Kiwi drive to navigate narrow greenhouse rows, a tall mast to support multiple manipulators and reach plant heights.” It has a felt-tipped end-effector for pollination.
