Design of an Autonomous Robotic Vehicle and Development of a Suitable Gripper for Harvesting Sensitive Agricultural Products

A Proposal for Automatic Fruit Harvesting by Combining a Low Cost Stereovision Camera and a Robotic Arm

This paper proposes the development of an automatic fruit harvesting system by combining a low cost stereovision camera and a robotic arm placed in the gripper tool. The stereovision camera is used to estimate the size, distance and position of the fruits whereas the robotic arm is used to mechanically pickup the fruits. The low cost stereovision system has been tested in laboratory conditions ...

Error Recovery by the Use of Sensory Feedback and Reference Measurements for Robotic Assembly

Industrial robots need instrument or parts transport to do which requires coordinate to show the robot’s instrument, parts and body. When investigating the robot location, we are usually interested in measuring its location relative to a reference coordinate system. In this system it is attempted to make the assemble direction smaller by designing the sensor board and making use of an instrumen...

Design, Fabrication and Intelligent Control of the Gripper Based on SMA Actuators

The robotic gripper is the end-effector of a robot system which is usually installed on a robot arm [1]. Since the gripper is the executor unit of a robot, it plays an important role in the application of robots. Technologies used in the grippers have been developed over the years for consumer products and specialized applications such as electronics, fields related to medicine and biology like...

Kinematic Analysis of a Dexterous Hand

Handling of objects with irregular shapes and that of flexible/soft objects by ordinary robot grippers is difficult. Multi fingered gripper may be a solution to such handling tasks. However, dexterous grippers will be the appropriate solution to such problems. Although it is possible to develop robotic hands which can be very closely mapped to human hands, it is sometimes not to be done due to ...
