Picking a Strawberry Without Bruising It

Deniz visits a greenhouse where a robot picks strawberries at night, talks to the engineers about the gripper that took three years, and to the pickers who still work the day shift.

About the show

Servo and Sense is a fortnightly robotics show hosted from Istanbul by Deniz Aksoy, a mechatronics engineer who has spent ten years building robot arms for car plants and, more recently, machines that pick strawberries. The show goes where the robots actually are: a textile factory in Bursa, a surgical theatre in Ankara, a warehouse outside Rotterdam, a vineyard in the Aegean, a kitchen in Seoul. Each 40-minute episode is a reported visit with the engineers and the workers side by side, followed by a plain explainer on one technical idea, a gripper, a lidar sensor, a motion planner, a safety stop. Deniz is honest about what robots still cannot do and curious about the people who work next to them. It is for engineers, students, factory managers and anyone who has watched a robot video online and wondered how much of it is real. Interviews in Turkish are voiced in English.
