The invention discloses a double-arm citrus picking
robot and a picking method, and belongs to the technical field of
agricultural automation equipment. The
robot comprises a crawler-type moving
chassis, a symmetrically-arranged double-mechanical-arm
system, a
machine vision
system, a citrus collecting bin and a
control system. The double-mechanical-arm
system adopts a main and auxiliary collaborative framework, the
tail end of a main mechanical arm is integrated with a clamping jaw and vacuum suction disc parallel mechanism, an auxiliary mechanical arm is provided with a rotary
circular saw blade, and lossless clamping of fruits and precise
cutting of fruit stems are achieved. The
machine vision system realizes high-precision citrus identification under complex illumination by improving a YOLOv5 network and fusing an HSV dynamic threshold value and Focal Loss optimization; graded path planning is combined with an A *
algorithm and an RRT *
algorithm, and motion safety of the mechanical arm is ensured through bounding box
collision detection. The picking method comprises the steps of three-dimensional
semantic map construction, collaborative grabbing and
cutting, lossless transfer and the like. The problems that a single-arm
robot is low in efficiency, fruits are prone to being damaged, fruit stems are not thoroughly treated and the like are solved, and the robot is suitable for automatic
orchard harvesting in hilly areas.
