Some day the manual labor of harvesting chili peppers may be replaced by instructions in a computer manual. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to teach robots how to perform traditionally manual tasks such as planting, weeding and harvesting of specialty crops like berries, peppers and other fruits and vegetables. A team within South Dakota State University’s Machine Vision and Optical Sensor Lab in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering is studying that technology for three varieties of chili peppers. Assistant professor Pappu Yadav leads the lab and directed the 2024 study “AI-Driven Computer Vision for Detection and Pose Estimation of Chili Peppers for Robotic Harvesting.”
