Robotic harvesting system for vertical plant cultivation

A harvesting system, comprising:

• a grow line;
• a plurality of vertically oriented grow towers coupled to the grow line and moveable along the grow line;
• a plurality of platforms positioned adjacent to the grow line, each platform of the first plurality of platforms having one or more robots disposed thereon, wherein each platform of the plurality of platforms is moveable in a first direction perpendicular to the vertical orientation of the grow towers;
• and
• a lift mechanism coupled to the plurality of platforms and configured to move the plurality of platforms in a second direction parallel to the vertical orientation of the grow towers.

A harvesting system, comprising:

• a grow line;
• a plurality of vertically oriented grow towers coupled to the grow line, each grow tower of the plurality of grow towers comprising:
• a first face and a second face oriented opposite the first face;
• a plurality of grow sites distributed along the first face and the second face;
• a plurality of hooks coupling the plurality of vertically oriented grow towers to the grow line;
• a conveyance mechanism engaging the plurality of hooks to enable movement of the plurality of vertically oriented grow towers along the grow line;
• a first support column disposed adjacent to the first face of the grow towers comprising a first lift mechanism, wherein the first support column is configured to move relative to the grow towers;
• a second support column disposed adjacent to the second face of the grow towers comprising a second lift mechanism, wherein the second support column is configured to move relative to the grow towers;
• a first robot coupled to the first support column and having an arm oriented away from the first support column and toward the one or more grow towers, wherein the first lift mechanism is configured to move the one or more first robots vertically along the first support column;
• and
• a second robot coupled to the second support column and having a second arm oriented away from the second support column and toward the one or more grow towers, wherein the second lift mechanism is configured to move the second robot vertically along the first support column.
