The realized product is just a prototype made during the course 'Mechatronics 1' of the Bruface programme in Electromechanical engineering in Brussels at VUB and ULB. Moreover, the supermarket could benefit from having an automated system for fruits and vegetables delivery since this system would ensure a correct and honest weighting of the product. The client is also able to select which of the three apple he wants by pressing on different buttons. This project, in particular, consists of a robotic arm that translates on a cart and is able to pick up, weight and deliver inside a bag an apple to the client.

The aim of the following project is to prove the concept that it is possible to deliver and weight fruits and vegetables for clients in a more hygienic way in a supermarket. Offering to costumers the possibility to feel safer because they buy fresh products that are isolated from possible infecting vectors is a positive aspect that should be considered.

Even if there is no evidence of transmission of Covid 19 through the surface of fruits, it is good to prevent this possibility, also for further viruses that might arise. When fruits and vegetables are sold at the supermarket they are usually exposed in open spaces, anyone can touch and handle them.Īfter the current Covid pandemic, people and institutions will require higher standards of hygiene to reduce the spread of future possible diseases. Fruit and vegetable market is a big sector that is worth more than 200 billion euros worldwide, this is expected to grow even more in the next decade due to an increasing healthier lifestyle across different European countries.
