The cannabis industry has steadily seen strides in automation from systems to roll cannabis into smokables (US Pub. No. 20200068947) to automated harvesting tumblers (US Pat. No. 10,602,679) – and now an automated cannabis plant trimmer (US Pat. No. 10,687,476) by Bloom Automation. Patent ‘476 issued June 23, 2020 is for a cannabis-trimming robot that can be seen in action here!

Talk to any grower and they will tell you that the single most tedious and time-consuming task to complete is trimming cannabis buds for drying and curing. Automating this chore could potentially assist the industry with issues meeting demands and help fill those least-desired positions. 

Bloom Automation seeks to provide “the precision of a human, but [with] the efficiency of a machine.” Their robots are not yet available but a pre-production program has been commenced.
