System and method for autonomous harvester installation and farm harvesting operation

A harvesting system for autonomous harvesting to be used together with a fruit collection bin, the system comprising:

• a) at least one robotic harvester equipped with:
• a fruit detection unit for identifying a fruit;
• a fruit's gripping or collecting tool;
• and
• optionally, a cutting tool for cutting a fruit off a tree, and
• b) a frame/box for holding said at least one robotic harvester, wherein:
• said frame/box is designed to fit onto said fruit collection bin, and optionally includes a power source;
• and
• said robotic harvester is a:
• robotic harvesting arm that is connected to the frame/box that includes a power source;
• or
• flying unmanned aircraft harvesting vehicle (UAV), which is either flying wirelessly or is wirely connected to the frame/box.

A harvesting system for autonomous harvesting, the system comprising concatenated fruit collecting (harvesting) wheeled-wagons designed to be pulled by a pulling machine, wherein at least one of the wagons is equipped with:

• a) at least one flying robotic harvester equipped with:
• a fruit detection unit for identifying a fruit;
• a fruit's gripping or collecting tool;
• and
• optionally, a cutting tool for cutting a fruit off a tree, and
• b) a frame/box for holding said at least one robotic harvester and designed to fit onto said fruit collection bin wheeled-wagon, and optionally includes a power source;
• wherein each one of said fruit collecting (harvesting) wheeled-wagons further comprises a fruit protection system for delivering/moving harvested fruits from the wagon's top to its bottom/floor for protecting fruit from damage during falling into the wagon.
