"Automating critical yet labor-intensive operations of dormant pruning"
Gratefully acknowledging support from the USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative 
Vision
We aim to make apple and grape production more cost competitive and to reduce risk from insufficient labor. We will accomplish this by integrating engineering and horticulture to develop technologies that automate pruning.
