This paper presents development of the robot which is able to harvest tomatoes. To harvest the farm products such as tomatoes is performed by farmers. So many farmers have problem that much cost and time are spent. Therefore, to solve this problem, we developed the robot that performs tomato harvesting. We made the robot which can harvest the tomato on the rails last year. So, we will make it possible to run in rough terrain. We designed the base part of the robot by considering the inclination of the vehicle body when the robot goes up the stair and impact which the robot will receive when the robot goes down the stair. In addition, our laboratory took part in a tomato harvesting robot competition held in Kyushu Institute of Technology in December 2017.
