粒羅 Tsubura — AI grape berry counting from your phone
An AI app born from University of Yamanashi research and used in the field.
Konjac Size and Weight Estimation
University of Yamanashi research · 2025
Challenge
Konjac tubers have irregular shapes with frequent occlusion, making size and weight estimation inaccurate with conventional methods.
Solution
Developed a size and weight estimation method that handles occlusion, working even for partially hidden tubers.
Impact
Estimates size and weight reliably even for overlapping tubers, including hidden parts.
Occlusion-robust estimation
Grape Grading System
University of Yamanashi research · 2024
Challenge
Grape grading relies on expert visual assessment, leading to inconsistent standards and labor shortages.
Solution
Developed a deep learning grading system fusing multi-view imaging with IoT sensor data.
Impact
Fuses multi-view imaging and IoT sensing for stable grading without relying on manual labor.
Standardized grading
Grape Berry Thinning AR System
University of Yamanashi research · 2023
Challenge
Grape berry thinning relies on skilled farmers' experience and intuition, making it difficult for newcomers and unskilled workers to learn.
Solution
Developed a system combining deep learning berry detection with AR glasses to display real-time thinning guidance.
Impact
Helps unskilled workers thin berries at a quality approaching that of experts.
Expert skill for anyone
Robotic Grape Berry Thinning
University of Yamanashi research · 2023
Challenge
Grape berry thinning is highly manual labor, with severe workforce shortages and physical burden demanding automation.
Solution
Developed an automated thinning system combining berry detection AI with a robotic arm, validated in both indoor and field environments.
Impact
Demonstrated automated berry thinning in the field using berry-detection AI and a robotic arm.
Field-proven automation
