1. A Dual Motor Actuator Used To Detach Fruit By Shaking Limbs Of Fruit TreesMechanizing the fruit removal operation during fresh-market apple harvesting will result in considerable cost savings for fruit growers. This study introduces a mechanical fruit removal technique that uses a unique limb shaking mechanism called a Dual Motor Actuator (DMA). The DMA was developed as an infinitely variable end-effector that applies rhythmic motions to a fruiting limb to remove fruit. The novelty of the DMA design is the use of two eccentrics mounted to electric motors... M. De kleine, M. Karkee, Q. Zhang, K. Lewis |
2. A Harvesting Robot System for Fresh Cherry Tomato in GreenhouseIn order to improve the , a new harvesting robot system for cherry tomato was designed and tested, which mainly consisted of a railed-type vehicle, a visual servo unit, a manipulator, a picking end-effector, and other accessories. According to the greenhouse environment and the standard planting mode, the robot configuration was determined, whose operating space could be adjusted horizontally and vertically in order to enlarge the harvesting range. Besides, a harvested fruits automatic transport... F. Qingchun, W. Xiu, W. Xiaonan, W. Guohua |
3. 3d Object Recognition, Localization and Treatment of Rumex Obtusifolius in Its Natural EnvironmentRumex obtusifolius is one of the most highly competitive and persistent sorts of weed in agriculture. An automatic recognition and plant-treatment system is currently under development as an alternative treatment technique. An infrared-laser triangulation sensor and a high-resolution smart camera are used to generate 3D images of the weeds and their natural environment. In a segmentation process, contiguous surface patches are separated from one other. These 3D surface patches... M. Holpp, T. Anken, D. Seatovic, R. Grueninger, R. Hueppi |
