Robotics for a Quality-Driven Post-harvest Supply Chain

Abstract Purpose of Review This article explores the current state robotic technology and its potential to improve post-harvest supply chain quality management decision-making. Recent Findings Soft-robotics is paving way towards generalized gripping solutions, which are highly relevant for handling fragile fresh products. Besides potential, it imperative study impact these solutions on product safety. Automated mobile robots, AMRs, present new opportunities automating warehouse operations. Moreover, AMRs enable possibilities monitor map qualitative climatic changes, take quality-driven (semi-)autonomous actions. Summary A review advances in manipulation navigation technologies presented terms their monitor, maintain, preserve produce quality. offer with transform chains. Future research should focus leveraging investigate
