Helinet
Robotic systems for Mediterranean agriculture
Helinet designs and builds autonomous robotic systems for the orchards, fields and farms of the Mediterranean. Our current focus is the Olive Picker — a bench-top R&D platform for autonomous olive harvesting, targeting small and mid-sized Greek farms.
The same hardware-and-software stack — perception, control, motion, edge AI and safety — is deliberately architected to extend to tree-fruit and soft-fruit harvesting, weeding, and precision spraying.
Current focus — Olive Picker
A bench-top robotic platform for autonomous olive harvesting. A six-axis positioning arm combined with a commercial branch-stripping head and a wide passive catch system. V1 is in active development; the field-deployable V2 addresses the underserved 5–50 stremmata cohort, between handheld electric harvesters and industrial trunk shakers.
A platform, not a one-off
The Olive Picker is the first product on a deliberately reusable agri-robotics stack:
- Perception RGB-D vision, depth sensing, real-time scene understanding
- Motion six-axis arms with swappable end-effectors over a standard mechanical and electrical interface
- Control ROS 2-based, designed for outdoor field deployment
- Edge AI detection and decision-making running locally on-device
- Safety fail-safe E-stop architecture, watchdogs for autonomous operation
The next applications on the roadmap: tree-fruit harvesting (cherries, apples, pistachios), soft-fruit harvesting (tomatoes, strawberries), autonomous weeding, and precision spraying.
Built on deployment experience
Helinet (formerly Teledrom Hellas) brings years of experience installing, commissioning, automating and training telecommunications and IT networks. We apply the same deployment know-how — taking complex systems from bench to operational field — to agricultural robotics.
