Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] refer to figure 1 , a grapevine pruning robot system, comprising an automatic navigation module 1, a pruning module 2, and a binocular stereo vision system 3.

[0025] The automatic navigation module 1 is based on the crawler vehicle 4, and includes a pan-tilt camera 5, left and right wheel drivers (not shown in the figure, located in the crawler vehicle 4 body), and an industrial computer 6. The automatic navigation module 1 is driven by the front large wheel 7 motors, and the other wheels follow-up. The pan-tilt camera 5 installed directly in front of the crawler vehicle 4 obtains road condition image information in real time; the industrial computer 6 is used to analyze and process the road condition image information, obtain navigation parameters and issue navigation parameters to the left and right wheel drivers; the left and right drivers control the spee...

Abstract

A pruning robot system for grape vines comprises an automatic navigation module, a pruning module and a binocular stereo vision module. The automatic navigation module comprises a tracked truck, a pan-and-tilt camera, a left wheel driver, a right wheel driver, and an industrial personal computer. The pruning module comprises an agricultural mechanical arm and terminal pruning shears, wherein the agricultural mechanical arm is used for mounting the terminal pruning shears and guiding the same to shear branches. The terminal pruning shears are used for pruning branches. The industrial personal computer is used for analyzing and processing image information of the grape vines, extracting coordinate information of pruning points, planning trajectory of the mechanical arm and giving out movement directives to joints. The binocular stereo vision module comprises two industrial cameras, an image acquisition card and the industrial personal computer, wherein the two industrial cameras are used for acquiring image information of the grape vines, and the information is transmitted to the industrial personal computer for image identification and processing through the image acquisition card. By the aid of the pruning robot system, labor intensity can be lowered, and work efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of intelligent robots, in particular to a grape vine pruning robot system. Background technique [0002] Pruning of vines can adjust the relationship between growth and fruiting to increase grape yield. Grape planting needs to be pruned and pruned multiple times such as winter pruning, renewal pruning, and summer pruning every year. In the process of grape vine planting, the workload of pruning is heavy and the task is heavy. At present, the pruning process is still dominated by manual work, with a low level of mechanization and high labor intensity. More efficient and labor-saving equipment is needed to save fruit farmers from heavy manual labor. [0003] Computer vision is a science and technology that studies computer simulation of biological explicit or macroscopic visual functions. It is an interdisciplinary subject involving artificial intelligence, neurobiology, computer science, image processing, and pattern...
