Abstract: With over five billion coconuts harvested annually, coconuts significantly contribute to the economies of several regions and countries.In India, the primary states involved in coconut harvesting are Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.The traditional method of harvesting involves climbing the tree and manually cutting the coconuts.While this process may appear straightforward, it is, in fact, quite hazardous.Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop a device for climbing and harvesting coconut trees.Our study reviews various research papers related to this field, revealing substantial potential for innovation due to the high costs and complexities of existing devices.The main objective of this study is to design a prototype for a coconut tree climbing and harvesting device that minimizes complexity and reduces costs.
