SUMMARY: Researchers at Mississippi State University are developing a robot that uses AI technology to pick cotton bolls in the field. The robot aims to make the harvesting process more consistent, efficient, and accurate.

The robot consists of detection, localization, and manipulation systems. The researchers hope that this technology will allow farmers to harvest cotton earlier in the season and eventually be sustainable in the fields year-round.
