S-H Robotics Lab Successfully Completes 2024 Milestone Review of Two Agricultural Innovation Projects

Recently, the Haidiain District Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized a milestone project completion review meeting for the 2024 Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Projects. The meeting was attended by representatives from the district’s financial bureau, the Zhongguancun Science City Management Committee, and a panel of experts to assess the progress of projects hosted by S-H Robotics Lab.

Demonstration Highlights

The review panel visited two key demonstration sites to observe project outcomes:

• Cuihu Smart Agriculture Innovation Factory (Phase II):
  In the research greenhouse, the spraying robot and pollination robot efficiently navigated among lush tomato plants, autonomously performing tasks without any human intervention. Their flexible operations showcased the advancements in automation for greenhouse agriculture.

• Zhongguancun Science Popularization Farm - “5G Strawberry Garden”:
  The strawberry harvesting robot, equipped with a self-developed low-damage gripper and vision-based measurement algorithm, seamlessly moved under strawberry racks. The robot identified and picked ripe strawberries, offering a practical solution to seasonal labor shortages and rising costs in elevated strawberry farming.

Expert Feedback

The on-site demonstrations vividly showcased the robots’ capabilities, earning high praise from the expert panel for their practical applications. Following the field visit, the review team attended a detailed presentation covering project implementation, research achievements, and budget utilization. The experts engaged in a thorough discussion and unanimously approved the completion of the first phase of Haidian District’s Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Projects.

Conclusion

The successful acceptance of these projects marks a significant milestone for S-H Robotics Lab. By addressing critical challenges such as labor shortages and operational efficiency, these projects represent an important step toward sustainable and intelligent farming solutions.
