Problems solved by technology

However, most of the research focuses on unilateral research on apple picking robotic arms, various end effectors, various sensors, and automatic navigation of picking robots. There is relatively little research on the overall system of apple picking robots. Robots still need human assistance in actual work, and cannot achieve complete automation and unmanned. Most of the existing apple picking robots work with a single manipulator. Although they can replace manpower and save labor, this type of apple picking Robots are expensive, and picking efficiency still needs to be improved

Abstract

The invention discloses an autonomous-navigation crawler-type multi-mechanical-arm apple picking robot which comprises a crawler-type mobile platform, a navigation system and a picking system. The autonomous-navigation crawler-type multi-mechanical-arm apple picking robot is characterized in that the crawler-type mobile platform comprises a crawler assembly, a vehicle body rack, an experimental device fixing rack, a cross beam, a support upright, a hydraulic cylinder body and the like; the navigation system comprises a machine vision module, an ultrasonic obstacle-avoiding module, a GPS (Global Positioning system) module and a navigation control module; the picking system comprises picking mechanical arms, a terminal executor, an apple collection device and the like. The crawler-type mobile platform is integrated with four apple picking mechanical arms, and an autonomous navigation function is increased, so that the working efficiency and automation degree of the apple picking robot are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an apple picking robot, in particular to a crawler-type multi-arm apple picking robot capable of autonomous navigation. Background technique [0002] my country is a large apple producing country, and apple production is of great significance to the development of my country's agricultural economy. However, at present, apple picking in my country is basically carried out by hand, and the picking efficiency is low. In recent years, with the development of agricultural mechanization and automation, the research on automatic apple picking robots has attracted more and more attention. However, most of the research focuses on unilateral research on apple picking robotic arms, various end effectors, various sensors, and automatic navigation of picking robots. There is relatively little research on the overall system of apple picking robots. Robots still need human assistance in actual work, and cannot achieve complete automation an...
