    Safflower is a valuable cash crop with medicinal and oilseed properties. Its market demand is increasing due to the growth of research and development in safflower-related products. Safflower plants produce multiple clusters of flower bulbs, each with varying opening times, making selective harvesting in batches a necessity. Currently, safflower harvesting relies mainly on manual multi-batch picking, which is both labour-intensive and costly. For this reason, the development of robotic technology for safflower harvesting is crucial.
