Abstract

This invention discloses an automated sow insemination robot, comprising a mobile support base, a gantry-type three-axis positioning module, a vision recognition system, an end effector, and a control system. The gantry-type three-axis positioning module is mounted on the platform of the mobile support base. The vision recognition system and the end effector are both mounted on the gantry-type three-axis positioning module and are distributed correspondingly front and rear. The control system is installed in a storage slot of the mobile support base and is electrically connected to the gantry-type three-axis positioning module, the vision recognition system, and the end effector. This invention, through the coordinated operation of the mobile support base, the gantry-type three-axis positioning module, the vision recognition system, and the end effector, achieves fully automated operation of sow insemination from target recognition and path planning to the insemination operation, effectively reducing manual labor intensity, improving insemination accuracy and success rate, and ensuring operational safety.
