This repository introduces a novel application of autonomous drone technology combined with advanced machine learning algorithms for optimizing the harvesting process of palmyra tree fruits. By integrating YOLOv8 object detection with a specialized cutting mechanism, the system efficiently identifies and removes ripe fruit clusters from the tree branches.

• Utilizes YOLOv8 object detection for identifying ripe fruit clusters
• Implements a specialized cutting mechanism for efficient harvesting
• Reduces time and labor requirements in the harvesting process
• Field evaluations demonstrate notable improvements in harvesting efficiency
• Presents a scalable solution for enhancing productivity in palmyra plantations
• Contributes to the advancement of agricultural automation technologies
