I’m not sure Israel does strawberries.

I know for certain there is a strawberry picking robot made in Japan, but so far it’s only for specialized greenhouse conditions.

The berry-bot is the commercial version of a robot developed by Japan’s National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) that we saw three years ago.

The US is so far behind I don’t think a US-manufactured commercial product will will make it to market unless it copies the exact specs of the greenhouse rail systems.
