A cloud robotics architecture for greenhouse strawberry harvesting with single-pass data collection

Purpose This paper presents a cloud robotics architecture for greenhouse strawberry harvesting, designed as a two-phase workflow that decouples perception from actuation. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and scalability of cloud-based perception offloading in structured agricultural environments. Design/methodology/approach In Phase 1, the robot performs single-pass data collection, capturing red, blue, green, and depth images and transmitting them to a cloud server for processing.
