A method of manufacturing and using a five-device-in-one water-collecting-and-decelerating fruit-and-nut-collecting-and-decelerating wind-diffusing-and-redirecting multi-function-transversable-ridge-and-seam multi-function-twist-locking-base carapace, which has at least one first three-hundred-and-sixty-degree-orientational-carapace panel, at least one second three-hundred-and-sixty-degree-orientational-carapace panel, a water-ejecting fruit-and-nut-discharging wind-diffusing crown-carapace nozzle, at least one breadth-wise carapace-panel-connecting seam, at least one mid-panel water-directing water-decelerating fruit-and-nut-decelerating wind-diffusing ridge seam, a upper hub, rib-hinging intersectors, arched carapace-supporting ribs, a three-hundred-sixty-degree-rotatably-locking center-support stanchion, an adjustable stanchion-supporting twist-locking base, a shuttle hub, and actuating-and-supporting ribs, comprises the steps of: sewing said at least one first three-hundred-and-sixty-degree-orientational-carapace panel and said at least one second three-hundred-and-sixty-degree-orientational-carapace panel together such that said at least one breadth-wise carapace-panels-connecting seam and said at least one mid-panel water-directing water-decelerating fruit-and-nut-decelerating wind-diffusing ridge seams are formed between said at least one first three-hundred-and-sixty-degree-orientational-carapace panel and said at least one second three-hundred-and-sixty-degree-orientational-carapace panel for converging rain water therein-to repeatedly change the direction of rain water to decelerate the flowing speed of rain water to reduce water splash to avoid damaging irrigated vegetables, for converging harvested fruits therein to repeatedly change the direction of harvested fruits to decelerate the rolling speed of harvested fruits to reduce fruit bruises to avoid throwing away bruised fruits, for converging harvested nuts therein to repeatedly change the direction of harvested nuts to decelerate the rolling speed of harvested nuts to reduce nut bruises to avoid throwing away bruised nuts, for converging catched balls therein to repeatedly change the direction of catched balls to decelerate the rolling speed of catched balls to reduce ball damages to avoid throwing away damaged balls, for directing rain water therealong, for directing harvested fruits therealong, for directing harvested nuts therealong, for directing game balls therealong, for forming a collecting cistern to collect rain water to irrigate garden, for forming a diverting gutter to collect rain water to discharge said rain water away from house balcony and foundation, for forming a collecting

Robotic systems and methods for harvesting agricultural produce along multiple rows crops are disclosed. A mobile platform may include a robotic arm having a gripping tool and repositionable catch for collecting harvested target objects. A vision system may facilitate the identification of target objects and an associated controller may coordinate the various operational functions.

The invention relates to a harvesting device for harvesting fruit hanging from a plant, comprising a frame displaceable in a transport direction, at least one container displaceable relative to the frame in a direction of extension substantially transversely of the transport direction; and at least one catcher mounted on the at least one container, wherein the at least one brush comprises an arm extending substantially in the direction of extension from the container, and a number of bristles which are attached to the arm and extend substantially parallel to the transport direction. The invention also relates to a method for harvesting such fruit, wherein use is made of such a harvesting device.

Method for packing harvested berries directly into clamshell packages during hand harvesting by a harvester. The harvester utilizes a new open-topped harvesting apparatus that has a plurality of bottom assemblies for supporting a shipping tray that contains a plurality of clamshell packages. The open-topped harvesting apparatus further includes a plurality of front and rear end wall assemblies affixed perpendicular to the bottom assembly. A first side wall assembly is affixed perpendicular to the bottom assemblies and affixed to the plurality of end wall assemblies. A second side wall assembly is affixed perpendicular to the bottom assemblies and affixed to the end wall assemblies. The second side wall has two belt notch-like loops for allowing the carrier to be secured on a harvester's belt; and the second side wall further including an arch-shaped side supporter for maintaining the bottom assemblies substantially horizontal to the ground when worn by the harvester.
