Flower and fruit thinning is an important part of orchard management, which is characterized by short cycle, large amount of manual labor, low efficiency, poor working environment, low degree of mechanization, etc. Due to the large workload and low income in orchards, a large number of rural people have moved to cities, resulting in the hollowing out of rural areas and a serious shortage of labor. In my country, flower and fruit thinning is mainly based on traditional manual work, supplemented by semi-automatic machinery, which still requires a large amount of labor, especially in apple and pear orchards. Under this background, mechanical flower and fruit thinning has become an inevitable development direction.
