About
Dr. Shen Hin Lim is a leading researcher in agricultural robotics, specializing in the automation of high-value horticultural crops. His work directly addresses critical labor shortages in New Zealand’s primary industries, focusing on the development of intelligent robotic systems for harvesting and pruning. Dr. Lim’s major contributions include pioneering the use of multiple Cartesian robot arms for kiwifruit harvesting, with his foundational paper on work distribution accumulating 90 citations. He has also advanced the field of autonomous viticulture, developing machine vision and modeling techniques for robotic cane pruning of wine grapevines. His research extends to the detection and localization of asparagus spears using machine learning and time-of-flight imaging, a project developed in collaboration with Robotics Plus Limited. With a total of over 170 citations, Dr. Lim’s work is characterized by a practical, systems-level approach, from workspace analysis and kinematic calibration to the design of novel multipurpose end effectors for tasks like apple thinning and harvesting. His research is instrumental in making robotic harvesting economically viable for the fruit and wine industries.
