The invention provides a bionic flexible
seedling taking end
effector which comprises a supporting mechanism, a depth camera, a
tentacle driving mechanism, a flexible
tentacle, a pressure supply mechanism, a pull
rope mechanism and a controller, and the depth camera, the
tentacle driving mechanism, the pull
rope mechanism and the pressure supply mechanism are all electrically connected with the controller. The depth camera sends collected images to the controller, the controller judges the positions of seedlings according to the images and analyzes and calculates the distribution and
radian of leaves, and when the
seedling taking
tail end executor moves to a target position, the controller controls the tentacle driving mechanism to drive the flexible tentacles to rotate to the positions above the corresponding leaves, and the flexible tentacles are driven to move to the target position. The
rope pulling mechanism is controlled to act to lift the flexible tentacle, and the pressure supply mechanism acts to enable the flexible tentacle to adsorb and grab seedlings. According to the
seedling taking end
effector, biological characteristics of octopus are used for reference, the flexible tentacle is matched with negative pressure to adsorb and extract cabbage seedlings, then
transplanting operation is achieved, damage to the seedlings is avoided, and the
survival rate is increased.
