New robotic arm arrived

Our new robotic arm has just arrived at the Laboratory, which is great news for the project, as it means that we will now be able to continue our efforts and start working on new things. This compliant multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator has the task of performing delicate handling of plants, such as flower and fruit manipulation, and plant pruning. It will work together with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), and these three robots will together form a system which can be applied to achieve versatile goals in an unstructured environment, which an indoor organic farm most certainly is.
