    A low-cost, simple. Inflatable robotic arm developed to help with fruit picking and other farm chores.

    The arm can see an apple, then extend and retract to pick it and place it in a basket within 26 seconds.

    Weighing less than 23 kg, the 60 cm-long arm is made of a soft fabric filled with air that is similar to, but stronger than, the wacky inflatable arm-flailing tube men used in outdoor advertising.

    It has been developed by the USA’s Washington State University.

    Tree fruit growers worldwide are facing labour shortages for critical operations like harvesting and pruning.

    The team said Washington state leads the nation in apple and sweet cherry production, which, in 2023, contributed more than $2 billion dollars to the U.S. gross domestic product.

    The state’s farms employ hundreds of workers each year for orchard operations, including for pollination, pruning, flower thinning and fruit harvesting.

    But an aging population and a decrease in migrant workers means farmers have struggled to get enough workers for harvest season.
