In recent years, the agricultural work population is aging and decreasing, and in addition, agriculture successors are also decreasing in Japan. The reasons of them are probably hard work and low income. As the solution of this problem we focus on raspberry harvest automation. Raspberry fruit contains a large amount of compounds with high health maintenance effect, so it will be a high added value product. This will save the declination of agriculture in Japan. With that back ground, we propose to automate cultivation and harvesting of raspberries. In this paper, especially, we describe our proposed automated-harvesting system.
