Eight cutting heads blind-harvest celery in one of the hardest specialty crop automation feats

BeagleTech's celery harvester tackles one of the hardest specialty crop automation problems: celery grows as 12 inches of dense canopy over a cut point with almost no tolerance, so eight independent cutting heads must locate the stalk base they can't see, one plant at a time, on US soil. The author frames this as part of reshoring America's healthiest calories through automation.
