The invention relates to the technical field of
agricultural automation equipment, and discloses a UWB navigation-based tomato picking
robot, which comprises a crawler-type mobile
chassis, a mounting rack, a control cabinet, a picking mechanical arm and an
actuator assembly. A UWB positioning tag is installed on the top of the control cabinet, a global navigation and local
obstacle avoidance system is constructed in combination with a
laser radar, and the problem of large positioning deviation in a
greenhouse weak signal environment is solved. The
pitch angle of the picking mechanical arm is adjusted through a driving motor, and plane two-dimensional motion is achieved through a cross-shaped sliding table structure. The
actuator assembly is based on eye-in-hand design, and an RGB-D depth camera, a multi-layer flexible suction cup and a rotating motor are integrated. During operation, the
visual system guides the mechanical arm to accurately position, the pneumatic driver provides negative pressure to adsorb fruits, and the rotating motor drives the suction cup to twist to realize lossless separation of fruit stems. According to the invention, the navigation precision and hand-eye coordination of the picking
robot are effectively improved, and automatic, low-loss and efficient picking of tomatoes is realized.
