A Smarter Way to Manage Orchards

We’re excited to announce that Avalon Robotics has officially filed a provisional patent for a revolutionary orchard management system designed to modernize and automate the entire agronomy process.

Our system transforms traditional orchard operations by integrating robotics, automation, and real-time data into one cohesive platform capable of:

• 🍎 Detecting fruit readiness and performing precision harvesting

• 📦 Sorting fruit at the point of harvest, not just at the packing house

• 💧 Monitoring ground moisture and executing adaptive irrigation

• 🐛 Identifying and treating pest and invasive species intrusions

• 🌿 Assessing plant health and performing pruning or maintenance

• 🚁 Flying an overhead robotic carriage system that deploys the right tool at the right time

• 🔄 Automatically switching tools mid-mission, without human intervention

• 📊 Forecasting crop yield and managing orchard-wide scheduling through AI

Instead of isolated machines performing single tasks, this system unifies all subsystems—plant care, pest control, soil management, harvesting—into a smart, self-adjusting platform. It operates continuously, adapting in real time to weather, soil conditions, and crop needs with minimal human oversight.

By sorting fruit as it’s picked—not hours later at a facility—we reduce waste, improve freshness, and enable better decision-making right in the field.

This is a major step toward fully autonomous, scalable orchard operations—and we’re just getting started.

In this demonstration video, a real robot is equipped with a specialized rebar tying gun to precisely secure rebar joints, showcasing the feasibility of automating this traditionally manual task. The robot, programmed for accurate, consistent movement, positions the tying gun at each rebar intersection and performs a secure tie with precision, ensuring optimal stability and alignment of the rebar structure. This demonstration highlights the potential for automated rebar tying to improve safety, speed, and consistency on construction sites, proving that robots can reliably handle rebar assembly with minimal human intervention. This prototype setup serves as a foundational step towards integrating robotic solutions for rebar tying, illustrating how automation can streamline labor-intensive processes in construction.

Watch our orchard harvesting system in action — combining an industrial cable robot and a robotic arm to pick, sort, and manage fruit directly in the orchard. Faster. Smarter.

In this video we take things a step further, picking up a large truss from the bottom chord, leaving it hanging upside down. Even with the unusual orientation, the robotic system handles it with stability and precision. This demonstration shows the versatility of automation in truss movement, proving that even non-standard picks are possible without issue.

Avalon Robotics’ innovative concept for preplating webs in open web floor trusses. This overview delves into the proven preplating process, offering insights into how it enhances efficiency and streamlines truss manufacturing. Learn about the steps, benefits, and potential applications of this automation concept, designed to optimize workflows and revolutionize the construction industry.

In this demo, our cable robot takes truss handling a step further. Picking from one position and placing in two different destinations. This flexibility shows how automation can adapt to production needs, streamline workflow, and reduce manual handling risks.

By expanding from a single place to multiple places, we unlock new ways to optimize stacking, staging, and plant layout. Watch as the system demonstrates both precision and adaptability in real-time truss movement.
