This invention belongs to the field of robotic arm motion planning and control technology, and discloses a control method for a harvesting robotic arm based on density clustering and agent integration. First, the DBSCAN algorithm is used to simplify the harvesting scenario, determining the objective function, constraints, input state space, action space, reward function, and termination condition of the agent in the harvesting scenario model. Based on the clustering results of the DBSCAN algorithm, the agent is prepared for training. Then, the selected agent algorithm is trained. Finally, an error reciprocal weighted combination method based on agent reward is used to integrate the motion control decisions of each trained agent algorithm for the same robotic arm and accumulate the total reward value after integration processing. This invention is applicable to the control of harvesting robotic arms, realizes multi-angle decision-making, effectively compensates for the shortcomings of single algorithms, improves the accuracy of robotic arm motion, and thus provides reliable support for modern agricultural automation technology.
