The mushroom cultivation automated transportation system is developed by utilized the principle of the automated storage and retrieval system for logistics input and output of the warehouse. When the basket which loading the mushroom incubation (sawdust) bags is transported by the conveyor to the entrance gate of the cultivation facility of this system, the sensor detect the arrival of basket and then switch on the inner conveyor to carry them into a feed-in/take-out platform, furthermore, the robotic arm will catch the basket up and transfer it into the multi-layer cultivation shelves to fruiting at the assigned position, as well as the subsequent output and harvesting operations.
