Learning What Can Be Picked: Active Reachability Estimation for Efficient Robotic Fruit Harvesting

Description

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of global health and economic sustainability, yet labor-intensive tasks such as harvesting high-value crops continue to face growing workforce shortages. Robotic harvesting systems offer a promising solution; however, their deployment in unstructured orchard environments is constrained by inefficient perception-to-action pipelines. In particular, existing approaches often rely on exhaustive inverse kinematics or motion planning to determine whether a target frui
