Arrangement for classifying plant embryos

An arrangement for classifying plant embryos, comprising:

• a vibrating base configured to receive, relocate, and/or detach, by vibrating, one or more plant embryos without liquid;
• at least one sensor configured at least to detect a single plant embryo on the vibrating base;
• a robot having a gripper configured to pick the detected single plant embryo from the vibrating base;
• at least one camera configured to image the single plant embryo in the gripper from a plurality of directions;
• and
• a processing unit configured to determine, based on the images, a quality of the single plant embryo, and wherein the processing unit is further configured to provide a control signal to the robot to move, based on the quality of the embryo, the single plant embryo to a first or a second group.

A method for classifying plant embryos comprising:

• detaching and/or relocating, by a vibrating base, one or more plant embryos without liquid;
• detecting, by at least one sensor, a single plant embryo on the vibrating base;
• picking, by a robot having a gripper, the single plant embryo from the vibrating base;
• imaging, by at least one camera, the single plant embryo in the gripper of the robot from a plurality of directions;
• determining, by a processing unit, based on the images, a quality of the single plant embryo;
• and
• providing, by the processing unit, a control signal to the robot to move, based on the quality of the single plant embryo, the single plant embryo to a first or a second group.
