AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing harvesting robots are wheeled and heavy, which causes them to crush the soil during their movement, resulting in severe soil compaction and affecting grape planting and production.
Method used
The system employs a suspended drive track and conveyor assembly, including the drive track, conveyor assembly, and robotic arm assembly. It is driven by steel cables or rails, and the robotic arm assembly harvests grapes using grippers and scissors, while avoiding soil compaction through suspension.
Benefits of technology
This method allows for harvesting grapes without compacting the soil, preventing soil compaction, improving harvesting efficiency, and without affecting grape cultivation and production.

Abstract
The application discloses a picking device and relates to the technical field of robots. The picking device comprises a driving track, a conveying assembly and a mechanical hand assembly. The driving track is suspended in the air. The conveying assembly is connected to the driving track and can move along the extension direction of the driving track under the driving of the driving track. The mechanical hand assembly comprises a mechanical arm, a clamping jaw and scissors. One end of the mechanical arm is connected to the conveying assembly, and the other end of the mechanical arm is connected to the clamping jaw and the scissors. The clamping jaw is used for wrapping grapes, and the scissors are used for cutting off the corresponding grapevine of the grapes wrapped by the clamping jaw. The clamping jaw of the application can wrap grapes first, and then control the scissors to cut off the grapevine, so that the grapes can be picked. Since the driving track is suspended in the air, the conveying assembly and the mechanical hand assembly are also suspended in the air. In the process of advancing, the conveying assembly and the mechanical hand assembly will not crush the soil and will not cause serious soil compaction to affect the planting and production of grapes.
