Rather than measuring and monitoring the fruit directly, the sensor monitors the bend in a tree branch: as fruit ripens it becomes larger and heavier, causing the branch to bend. Once the bend reaches a certain point, foragers are alerted that the tree is ready to be picked.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/dublin.sciencegallery.com\/fieldtest\/exhibits\/designs-for-foraging.html\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EThe Designs for Foraging\u003C\/a\u003E project takes technologies from precision agriculture and redesigns them for the specific contexts of urban foraging.
