The drone that picks the fruit your crew can't reach in time.
DROT is a revolutionary harvesting drone built for hard-fruit growers. Every harvest is a race against a narrow window: when an orchard ripens, the whole crop comes due within a few days — but there are rarely enough hands to bring it all in. Between labor shortages and harvest windows that close in just two or three days, growers routinely leave 15% of their fruit unpicked on the tree, where it drops, rots, and turns into lost revenue. DROT closes that gap, recovering the fruit that would otherwise go to waste.
When the fruit is ready, the clock is already running — and most farms can't beat it.
Labor shortages mean there aren't enough pickers when the fruit is ready — and the cost of labor, when it can be found, is high.
A large orchard ripens faster than a crew can harvest it — often the entire crop within two to three days.
The result: 15% of the fruit is left on the tree, unharvested and lost.
DROT works where and when labor falls short — clearing fruit before it's lost.
Deploy DROT to clear ripe blocks before the window closes, so no fruit is left behind.
Tall canopies, upper branches, and steep terrain that crews skip or can't safely access.
Work alongside human pickers to scale harvesting capacity on demand, rather than replacing your team.
Autonomous operation keeps harvesting going beyond the limits of available daylight and labor.
We're putting the finishing touches on the full breakdown of how DRONE-ROBOT (DROT) is built and what it can do. Soon you'll find the complete picture here:
How much it harvests per charge, and how little electricity it takes to do it.
The full technical profile of the aircraft and its harvesting system.
How much ground a single drone can cover.
How long it stays in the air on one charge.
How much fruit it can carry per run.
How far it can extend to pick fruit others leave behind.

Our mission is to give growers a faster, more cost-effective way to harvest — one that reduces waste, recovers the fruit that would otherwise be left on the tree, and turns lost crops back into revenue.
DRONE-ROBOT (DROT) is only the beginning. Our long-term mission is to create a versatile drone-robot hybrid: a platform that combines flight with the ability to grab, lift, and manipulate objects in places today's robots simply can't reach. Beyond the orchard, that means structural inspections, retrieval from heights, and work in environments that are dangerous or inaccessible for people and ground-based machines alike.
