[0045] The liquid storage tank 302 is made of transparent material, and a scale line 305 is provided on one side of the liquid storage tank 302;

[0046] A drive motor 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the liquid storage tank 302. A stirring rod 304 for stirring the liquid inside the liquid storage tank 302 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 303. The stirring rod 304 is located inside the liquid storage tank 302.

[0047] The collection mechanism 4 is located on one side of the mobile vehicle body 101 and is used to collect the harvested fruits.

[0048] A U-shaped plate 401 is fixed to the upper surface of the chassis plate 301 at the end away from the liquid storage tank 302. A servo motor 402 is installed on the U-shaped plate 401. The movable frame 403 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 402.

[0049] In this implementation plan: This is an intelligent interactive robot that integrates automated fruit tree maintenance and harvesting. When in use, after the mobile vehicle 101 is started, the battery 104 supplies power to the control module integrated microcontroller 110, display screen 103, six-degree-of-freedom mechanical clamping device 2 and other electrical components.

[0050] The wheeled differential drive chassis of the mobile vehicle 101 was initialized and calibrated. The speed difference between the left and right wheels was tested to ensure the accuracy of translation and rotation. Then it was moved to the side of the fruit tree to prepare for subsequent operations.

[0051] Users can input the operation mode through the display screen 103, such as spraying maintenance, fruit harvesting, and comprehensive operation, and can set specific parameters, such as spraying range and fruit type to be harvested.

[0052] The system generates task instructions based on user input. The control module integrates a microcontroller 110 to call the corresponding algorithm library. The OpenMV visual recognition module 107 is fixed near the gripper of the robotic arm via an L-shaped plate 106. Its OV7725 camera chip supports 640×480 resolution image acquisition and achieves real-time image processing through the MicroPython programming interface. It acquires fruit tree images at a frame rate of 15-30fps. The projection hole of the protective shell 108 ensures that the lens is not interfered with by external debris. Its core functions include color recognition, shape detection, and edge tracking, which can accurately identify pest and disease characteristics.

[0053] The OpenMV library functions are used for grayscale conversion and filtering to remove noise. Fruit color features (such as red and yellow) or pest and disease features (such as leaf spots) are extracted by setting thresholds. For example, for apples, the RGB threshold range is set to R>200, G<150, B<150.

[0054] By using the input matrix (5×5 feature matrix) and training process of the ART neural network learning algorithm, or the deployment method of the deep learning model, it is determined whether the target is a harvestable fruit or an area that needs to be sprayed. At the same time, combined with the coordinate system of the robotic arm, the three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) and attitude angles (pitch, yaw, roll) of the target are calculated. Meanwhile, the collaborative processing flow of OpenMV vision recognition module 107 with force sensor and temperature and humidity sensor data is used for pest and disease detection and spraying decision-making.

[0055] The control module integrates a microcontroller 110 to plan the movement path based on the target position and the current position of the moving vehicle 101 using a pure tracking algorithm.

[0056] Pure tracking algorithm;

[0057] Objective: To control the car to travel along a predetermined path.

[0058] formula:

[0059]

[0060] PID steering control

[0061] The target path point coordinates are converted into steering error, and the speed difference between the left and right wheels is adjusted by PID control.

[0062] Where: δ is the front wheel steering angle, L is the wheelbase of the vehicle (m), and α is the angle between the target point and the current direction of the vehicle (rad).

[0063] For spraying tasks, the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2 uses forward and inverse kinematics analysis of the DH model and combines it with the Jacobian matrix to generate the three-dimensional trajectory of the spray head 109, ensuring that the coverage area is free of blind spots; for harvesting tasks, the gripping posture of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2 is planned to ensure that the gripping force is closed and does not damage the fruit.

[0064] The moving vehicle 101 adopts a differential drive model, and the linear velocity formula is:

[0065]

[0066] Angular velocity formula:

[0067]

[0068] Linearization assumption for the relationship between PWM duty cycle and speed:

[0069] PWM duty =k v ·v+b

[0070] Where: v is the linear velocity of the trolley in m / s, r is the wheel radius in m, and w left w rightLet ω be the angular velocity of the left and right wheels in rad / s, d be the distance between the left and right wheels in m, and k be the angular velocity of the trolley in rad / s. v Here, b represents the speed-PWM gain, and b is the start-up threshold to overcome static friction.

[0071] Precise movement and steering are achieved by adjusting the speed of the left and right wheels through PID closed-loop control.

[0072] Objective: To achieve stable speed control through encoder feedback. Formula:

[0073]

[0074] Where: e(t) is the error between the target velocity and the actual velocity, K p K i K d For PID parameters;

[0075] Obstacle avoidance algorithm

[0076] When the ultrasonic sensor detects an obstacle ahead at a distance d less than a safety threshold such as 0.5m, the system triggers an obstacle avoidance algorithm, prioritizes turning right, and replans the path.

[0077] Logic: Distance d of the obstacle ahead <d safe At that time, stop or turn;

[0078] Steering strategy: Prioritize right turns as long as there are no obstacles on the right. PID obstacle avoidance steering error e = d safe -d, calculates the steering angle using PID.

[0079] Where: d is the distance m between the car and the target point;

[0080] After the small water pump 306 is started, it draws liquid medicine or water from the storage tank 302 through the connecting pipe 307, and delivers it to the spray head 109 through the flexible water pipe 308 for precise spraying to the designated area of ​​the fruit trees.

[0081] The small water pump 306 can be equipped with a 365 motor and a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical clamping device 2 carrying a spray head 109. Under the action of the OpenMV vision recognition module 107, it scans the work area in real time and generates the optimal spraying path, which can achieve precise spraying, reduce pesticide usage by 20%-30%, and ensure spray uniformity.

[0082] During the spraying process, the drive motor 303 is started, which drives the stirring rod 304 to rotate, thereby stirring the liquid inside the storage tank 302. This makes the liquid mix with water more evenly, avoids drug precipitation, and further improves the spraying effect. The storage tank 302 is provided with a scale line 305 on one side. The storage tank 302 is made of transparent material, such as acrylic sheet. The acrylic sheet and the scale line 305 make it easier to judge the liquid level inside the storage tank 302.

[0083] The six-degree-of-freedom mechanical clamping device 2 can achieve millimeter-level positioning of the spray head 109 in three-dimensional space through multi-joint coordinated motion, with a three-dimensional positioning accuracy of ≤1mm;

[0084] The first servo motor is mounted on the base, driving the rotating disk to rotate. The rotating disk is connected to the second servo motor via a U-shaped support plate, causing the first movable frame to pitch. The first movable frame is connected to the second movable frame via a connecting frame. The third servo motor controls its oscillation. The fourth servo motor is mounted on the third servo motor via a connecting plate, driving the third movable frame to extend and retract. The fifth servo motor is fixed to the third movable frame, driving the support plate to rotate. The sixth servo motor is mounted on the back side of the support plate, driving the transmission gear rod to mesh and rotate. Through the limit lever, the gripper opens and closes, realizing gripping and transportation.

[0085] The OpenMV visual recognition module 107 accurately identifies ripe fruit using color and shape features, achieving a positioning accuracy of ±0.5cm. For example, when identifying apples, it uses a circular fitting algorithm to filter candidate targets and eliminate interference from leaves and other elements. The six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2 employs a force-closure-based grasping algorithm to calculate the optimal gripping point, such as near the apple's stem, ensuring stable gripping without damaging the fruit. The pressure is controlled between 0.2-0.5N. Each joint of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2 is controlled by servo motors driving PWM signals to control the joint angular displacement, folding from the initial position, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the end-effector pose is calculated using forward kinematics, and the angles of each joint are solved using inverse kinematics to achieve precise grasping.

[0086] The grasping process uses impedance control. M d B d K d For the desired impedance parameter, F ext It can adjust the end stiffness in real time to adapt to the deformation of the fruit surface and prevent slippage when subjected to external force;

[0087] During the fruit grasping process, the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2 places the grasped fruit into the fruit basket 404 on the movable frame 403 for fruit collection. At the same time, the movable frame 403 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 402, and the fruit basket 404 can be tilted for unloading. The servo motor 402 can drive the rotation angle range of the movable frame 403 (such as 0°-45°). The fruit basket 404 is equipped with cushioning material (such as flexible silicone) to reduce contact damage to the fruit.

[0088] This solution, through the collaborative operation of the OpenMV visual recognition module 107 and the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2 with the liquid delivery mechanism 3, achieves precise control of pesticide spraying and irrigation. It can precisely adjust the spraying amount and range according to the actual growth needs of the fruit trees and the status of pests and diseases, avoiding the problems of excessive or insufficient use of pesticides and water in manual operations. Utilizing advanced image recognition algorithms, the robot can quickly and accurately identify the maturity of the fruit trees, accurately distinguishing fruits at different maturity stages, providing a reliable basis for harvesting. This avoids the subjectivity and blindness of fruit farmers relying on experience, ensuring that the timing of fruit harvesting is just right, improving fruit quality and yield. This device realizes the automation and integrated operation of spraying, irrigation, harvesting, and transportation. The robot can autonomously complete the entire process from environmental perception and decision-making to execution, significantly reducing human intervention in each stage. The robot can work continuously for long periods without being affected by human fatigue, effectively solving the problem of rural labor shortage. At the same time, it has greatly reduced the labor intensity of fruit farmers, freeing them from heavy and inefficient mechanized production work, and promoting the development of family orchards towards intelligence and modernization.

[0089] It should be noted that the display screen 103 can use a CZ007X5 series 4.3-inch industrial touch screen, with an 800×480 IPS high-definition screen as its core, combining industrial-grade reliability with intelligent interaction capabilities. Its IPS technology achieves a 178° full viewing angle and 500 cd / m² resolution. 2 High brightness ensures clear display even in strong light; supports capacitive / resistive touch control, suitable for operation with gloves and wet hands, meeting the needs of complex environments; built-in serial communication and expansion interface, compatible with Modbus and other protocols, allowing seamless connection to PLCs, sensors and other devices.

[0090] It should be noted that the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical clamping device 2 is analyzed through forward and inverse kinematics using the DH model, and the specific algorithm is as follows;

[0091] DH parameter modeling:

[0092] Based on the improved DH parameter method, a coordinate system is established for each joint of the robotic arm of the six-DOF mechanical gripper 2. All six joints of the robotic arm are rotational joints. The first three joints determine the position of the wrist reference point, and the last three joints determine the orientation of the wrist. The coordinate system of each joint is defined as follows:

[0093] The base coordinate system ({0}) coincides with the first joint coordinate system ({1}).

[0094] Joint i connects links i-1 and i. The Z-axis of coordinate system {i} is along the axis of joint i, and the X-axis is along the common perpendicular of links i-1 and i.

[0095] Link parameters include: joint rotation angle θi, link length ai, link offset di, and link torsion angle αi.

[0096] Kinematic analysis

[0097] Positive kinematics:

[0098] The pose of the robotic arm's end effector relative to the base coordinate system is calculated using link parameters and joint variables. The forward kinematics equations can be expressed as:

[0099]

[0100] Inverse kinematics:

[0101] Given the pose of the end effector, solve for the joint variables. Inverse kinematics can be solved analytically or numerically. Analytical methods are suitable for robotic arm structures where joint axes intersect at a single point or are parallel.

[0102] in: Let be the homogeneous transformation matrix of joint i. This is the pose matrix of the end effector.

[0103] Joint space trajectory planning:

[0104] To express joint variables as functions of time, cubic or quintic polynomial interpolation methods are commonly used. Cubic polynomial interpolation can simultaneously constrain the angles and angular velocities of both the starting and target points; the formula is:

[0105] θ(t)=a0+a1t+a2t 2 +a3t 3

[0106] Descartes spatial trajectory planning:

[0107] The displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the end effector are expressed as functions of time, and linear interpolation or circular interpolation methods are commonly used.

[0108] Lagrange method modeling: Based on the Lagrange equations, the dynamic equations of the robotic arm are derived. The Lagrange function is:

[0109]

[0110] Where: K is kinetic energy, P is potential energy, and τ is... i Let q be the driving torque of joint i. i For joint variables.

[0111] Control algorithm, PID control

[0112] The input voltage of the joint motor is adjusted through three stages: proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D), so that the actual joint angle tracks the desired joint angle. The PID control formula is:

[0113]

[0114] Applications: Suitable for speed and position control of articulated motors; PID parameters can be tuned experimentally.

[0115] Where: u(t) is the control input, e(t) is the error signal, and K p K i K d These are PID parameters.

[0116] Calculation torque control

[0117] Based on the dynamic model of the robotic arm, the required driving torque for the joints is calculated, compensating for nonlinear factors such as gravity and inertia. The torque control formula is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] Applications: Suitable for high-precision trajectory tracking control, reducing tracking errors;

[0120] Where M(q) is the inertia matrix. Let G(q) be the matrix of Coriolis force and centrifugal force, and G(q) be the gravity term.

[0121] Adaptive control

[0122] By estimating the dynamic parameters of the robotic arm online, the controller gain is adjusted to adapt to parameter changes and external disturbances. The adaptive control formula is:

[0123]

[0124] Applications: Suitable for robotic arm systems with uncertain or time-varying parameters;

[0125] in: These are estimated values ​​for the dynamic parameters. Let K be the desired joint acceleration and velocity, e be the tracking error, and K be the velocity. v To control the gain.

[0126] Specific working principle: This type of intelligent interactive robot, suitable for automated fruit tree maintenance and harvesting, uses a wheeled differential drive chassis for its mobile body 101. Translation and steering are achieved through the difference in speed between the left and right wheels. Combined with a pure tracking algorithm for path planning, when the ultrasonic sensor detects an obstacle less than a safety threshold (e.g., 0.5m), an obstacle avoidance algorithm is triggered, prioritizing a right turn and replanning the path to precisely move to the work area. The OpenMV visual recognition module 107 is fixed near the clamping part of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical clamping device 2 via an L-shaped plate 106. Its onboard camera operates at 15-30fps. The system acquires fruit tree images at a high frame rate and utilizes color recognition algorithms (such as setting RGB thresholds for apples to R>200, G<150, B<150) and shape detection algorithms to accurately identify fruit maturity, pest and disease characteristics, and target locations with a positioning accuracy of ±0.5cm. This provides data support for subsequent operations. After the small water pump 306 in the liquid delivery mechanism 3 starts, it draws liquid medicine or water from the storage tank 302 through the connecting pipe 307 and delivers it to the spray head 109 via the flexible water pipe 308. The six-degree-of-freedom mechanical clamping device 2 generates the three-dimensional trajectory of the spray head 109 through forward and inverse kinematics analysis using the DH model and the Jacobian matrix. Achieving precise spraying reduces pesticide usage by 20%-30%. The drive motor 303 on top of the storage tank 302 rotates the stirring rod 304, ensuring uniform mixing of the pesticide and water and preventing sedimentation. The storage tank 302 is made of transparent material and features graduation lines 305 for easy observation of the liquid level. The six-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripping device 2, based on data from the OpenMV vision recognition module 107, uses a force-closed gripping algorithm through multi-joint coordinated motion to calculate the optimal gripping point, such as near the apple stem, controlling the gripping force between 0.2-0.5N for precise fruit gripping and to avoid damage. The gripped fruit is then placed on the movable frame 40. In the fruit basket 404 on the 3rd floor, the servo motor 402 drives the movable frame 403 to rotate 0°-45°, tilting the fruit basket 404 to unload the fruit. The cushioning material inside the fruit basket 404 reduces fruit damage. The control module integrates a microcontroller 110 to receive the operation mode, such as spraying maintenance, fruit harvesting, etc., and parameters input by the user through the touch screen 103. Combined with data from force sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, etc., the robot coordinates various components to complete the fully automated task from environmental perception, decision planning to execution through algorithms such as PID control and torque calculation. The degree of human intervention in each link is greatly reduced, and the robot can work continuously for a long time.
