Cross-Crop Teams / Companies
同一团队 / 公司在多个作物上有研究或产品。基于master_projects.jsonl的 organization 字段聚合 +outboxes/literature_patent/cross_crop_groups.jsonl.
1. Cross-crop teams identified by literature_patent (round 1)
?
- Crops: cucumber, pepper, tomato, apple, grape
- Notes: Largest and most prolific academic cross-crop group in greenhouse robotics. Hemming and van Henten appear on pepper, cucumber, tomato, apple, grape papers. EU project chain: CROPS → SWEEPER → ongoing.
?
- Crops: apple, strawberry
- Notes: Karkee group is the primary US academic group for apple+strawberry. WSU 2025-2026: inflatable arm for apples; AI-vision+soft-finger system for hidden strawberries.
?
- Crops: raspberry, strawberry, cauliflower
- Notes: Stoelen (spinout founder) publishes on both raspberry and strawberry. Fieldwork Robotics expanding to other soft fruit and vegetables.
?
- Crops: lychee, citrus, dragon_fruit
- Notes: SCAU is primary Chinese institution for tropical/subtropical fruit harvesting robotics. Zou group spans lychee+citrus; dragon fruit research via Nanjing Forestry Univ related. Confirm full SCAU dragon fruit authorship.
?
- Crops: dragon_fruit
- Notes: Confirmed from paper affiliations. Need to verify full author list and any additional crops in their research portfolio.
?
- Crops: tomato
- Notes: MetoMotion GRoW reaches commercial limited stage; distributed by Ridder. Israeli greenhouse robotics tradition linked to WUR SWEEPER consortium (Arad/Ben-Shaul are Israeli).
?
- Crops: tomato
- Notes: CMU spinout; 2 filed patents. Cross-crop potential with other greenhouse vegetables as platform matures.
