Design an apple-assisted harvesting robot

In response to the challenge of inadequate labor for manual fruit picking due to extensive fruit farming, this study proposes a fruit-assisted picking robot. The robot features an independent walking mechanism, a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm structure, an information perception system, a visual recognition system, and an autonomous decision-making system. It can accurately identify fruits in complex settings, determine their spatial positions, execute the robotic arm's movement for autonomous fruit picking, and adapt to various fruit picking scenarios based on different fruit categories through deep learning.

Abstract

In response to the challenge of inadequate labor for manual fruit picking due to extensive fruit farming, this study proposes a fruit-assisted picking robot. The robot features an independent walking mechanism, a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm structure, an information perception system, a visual recognition system, and an autonomous decision-making system. It can accurately identify fruits in complex settings, determine their spatial positions, execute the robotic arm's movement for autonomous fruit picking, and adapt to various fruit picking scenarios based on different fruit categories through deep learning.
