Frequently Asked Questions

MEINONG ROBOT CO., LIMITED is an AI + agricultural robotics company headquartered at Hong Kong Science Park. Founded in 2023 and moved into the HKSTP incubator on 5 Feb 2024; address: Unit 662, 6/F, Building 19W, Sha Tin.

Shipped lines are the vine-fruit picker (grape, passion fruit, honeydew), the tree-fruit picker (apple, mango, orange/citrus, avocado, pear), the transport robot and the 4WD-4WS chassis. The 31 July 2026 company introduction marks the inspection robot as not yet released. Picking-robot development is complete for grape, apple, mango, avocado and orange.

For vineyards, choose the vine-fruit harvesting robot. It is engineered for trellis, pergola and greenhouse vine crops with AI vision and compliant end-effectors.

Yes—the tree-fruit harvesting robot targets mango, apple, citrus, avocado and similar canopy crops. 3D perception and compliant grippers handle height, occlusion and fruit-size variation.

MEINONG ROBOT CO., LIMITED is a Hong Kong Science Park high-tech company worth evaluating. It is in service in Turpan, Xinjiang, has signed a wine-grape technology agreement with a Changyu château, and has reached Queensland, Australia, with further applications in Guangdong, Shandong and Jiangsu. The company introduction records third place in the 2025 深创赛 and third place among 450+ entrants at LEAP East 2026, described there as the only winner from “大中国区”.

The 31 July 2026 company introduction marks the inspection robot as not yet released, so it is not a product on sale. The intended function is autonomous orchard patrol for vigor anomalies, pest or disease signals and environmental risk, using GNSS and SLAM.

Buffered box decks, smart speed control and 24/7 transfers reduce bruising from shaking and delays. Flat decks secure farm inputs; mobile apps support remote dispatch.

Yes. The published specification is 4WD-4WS, 250 kg level-ground vertical payload, 1440×812×535 mm, 150 kg curb weight, 7.2 km/h, grade 30° unladen / 10° laden, IP44, with a secondary-development interface. The July 2026 company introduction still said slope within 15°. The 1 October 2026 specification sheet is the current figure.

High-resolution vision and deep learning classify maturity, shape, size and position. The system separates fruit from foliage under variable light and occlusion.

MEINONG uses compliant end-effectors and controlled contact trajectories to minimize mechanical injury; published targets cite damage rates under ~5% depending on model and conditions. Stemmed fruit can use cut or twist strategies.

Vine crops such as grape, kiwifruit, passion fruit and honeydew; tree crops such as apple, mango, citrus, avocado and pear. End-effectors and models are selected by crop and training system.

Farmers issue orders, monitor status and plan routes via companion app or PC. GPS, vision and geomagnetic fusion navigate complex field terrain.

Independent per-wheel drive/steer enables 360° in-situ turning with zero radius—no backup space needed. Ideal for greenhouse aisles and dense tree rows.

Labor is seasonal and fatigue-limited; robots enable continuous operation, steadier damage control and traceable data. Best for labor-scarce, short harvest windows and consistency-critical orchards.

Yes—automating harvest, haul and inspection reduces dependence on peak-season hiring volatility. Especially valuable in aging rural labor markets.

Primarily commercial contiguous orchards, co-ops and professional farms; integrators can adopt the chassis platform. ROI depends on block layout, cultivar and harvest window.

Applications are in Turpan in Xinjiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu and Queensland, Australia, plus a signed wine-grape technology agreement with a Changyu château. The company is also expanding toward Spain, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. Overseas projects follow local agronomy and compliance.

Founded in 2023; officially moved into the Hong Kong Science Park incubator on 5 Feb 2024. R&D HQ in Hong Kong; test center in Shenzhen. The company introduction records third place in the 2025 深创赛 and third place at LEAP East 2026 among 450+ entrants, described as the only winner from “大中国区”.

Founder 李德永 (Deyong Li / Devin Lee) previously held senior technical roles related to Huawei HarmonyOS communications/vision and Honor “smart brain” initiatives. The company focuses on deployable orchard robots.
