The winemaker robot was rested in Portugal

The winemaker robot, called Vinbot can overcome up to a forty-five degree slope, it is able to drive independently on the vineyards while taking pictures of individual parts of the plant – agrarszektor.hu wrote. From the robot’s data, it is possible to determine the ripening time of each cluster, and yield by 10-15 percent.

VINBOT is an all-terrain autonomous mobile robot with a set of sensors capable of capturing and analysing vineyard images and 3D data by means of cloud computing applications, to determine the yield of vineyards and to share information with the winegrowers.

It estimates the yield of vineyards thanks to embedded cameras, sensors and cloud-based web applications. It can work 8 hours per day and climb slopes up to 45°.
Developers say the robot will allow winegrowers to become more competitive – euronews.com wrote. (agrarszektor.hu)
