Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system called Mamba-YOLO that can automatically detect and grade shiitake mushrooms for harvest. The system looks at images of mushrooms and identifies which ones are ready to pick based on their size, maturity, and surface texture characteristics. With 98.89% accuracy and fast processing speed of 8.3 milliseconds, this technology could help automate mushroom harvesting and reduce labor costs for farmers. The compact model design also allows it to be installed on robotic harvesting machines.
