1. A Dual-Arm Machine-Vision-Guided Robotic System for High-Throughput Tissue Sampling in Potato Tubers

High-throughput molecular pathogen detection in potato tubers requires tissue sampling methods that are both sensitive and specific. A critical step in this workflow is the manual extraction of tissue cores, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, limiting scalability for large-scale diagnostics. To address this challenge, this study developed a machine-vision-guided, dual-arm coordinated inline robotic system that integrates tuber picking, rotation, and tissue sampling mechanisms. In this...
