Cover Story: Dragon fruit is a high-value tropical fruit with significant potential for consumers and producers. This study focused on ensuring the quality of dragon fruit through the application of a non-destructive robotic sensor. The quality of the fruit is directly associated with texture deterioration. The variables obtained from the sensor successfully differentiated between acceptable and deteriorated fruit. The utilization of the robotic sensor proves to be an efficient tool for evaluating the quality of dragon fruit. This approach has the potential to result in substantial savings, particularly considering the elevated costs associated with importing tropical fruits into the European market. View this paper
