AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing pollination robots and intelligent pollination solutions cannot effectively pollinate the flower shape of *Aglaia odorata*. Manual pollination is inefficient, specific bee breeding is difficult and time-consuming, and electrostatic friction pollination is not effective in humid environments.

Method used

Design a pollination device that includes a robotic arm, a flexible clamp, an air blowing module, and a vibration module. Combining inertial sensors, Kalman filtering, and path planning algorithms, the device uses a depth camera to accurately identify the flower structure and uses the flexible clamp to grasp the flower column and vibrate or blow air to transfer pollen.

Benefits of technology

It enables precise and rapid pollination of sand flowers in Yangchun, improves the pollination rate, reduces human intervention, is suitable for large-scale agricultural production, and reduces dependence on natural pollinators.
