Fruit location is an important parameter for apple harvesting robot to conduct picking task. However, it is difficult to obtain coordinates of each apple under natural conditions. One of the major challenges is detecting adjacent fruits accurately. Previous studies for adjacent detection have shortcomings such as vast computation, difficulty in implementation and over-segmentation. In this pape...

Automated fruit-picking equipment has the potential to significantly enhance efficiency of picking. Accurate detection and localization fruits are particularly crucial in this regard. However, current methods rely on expensive tools such as depth cameras LiDAR. This study proposes a low-cost method based monocular images achieve target estimation. To improve accuracy targets, especially small a...

To improve the seedling-picking efficiency of vegetable transplanter and reduce damage rate seedling pot, a reciprocating device driven by full air pressure was designed. In this paper, structure working principle pneumatic are introduced. Through mechanical analysis between claw parameters such as stroke driving force clamping cylinder were determined. According to action sequence mechanism, w...

Quality characteristics of tomato fruit will be affected by a number preand post harvest factors. In this study, the effect of maturity stage on post harvest quality characteristics of tomato was investigated. Tomato fruits of the same farmers‟ variety were harvested at mature-green, medium ripe and full-ripe stages. After harvesting, tomato samples were sliced and homogenized in blender for pr...

Developing seismic signal detection and phase picking is an essential step for on-site early earthquake warning system. A few deep learning approaches have been developed to improve the accuracy of picking. To run existing models, high-throughput computing resources are required. In addition, architecture must be optimized mounting model in small devices using low-cost sensors detection. this s...

In order to improve robotic harvesting and reduce production cost, a harvesting robot system for strawberry on the elevated-trough culture was designed. It was supposed to serve for sightseeing agriculture and technological education. Based on the sonar-camera sensor, an autonomous navigation system of the harvesting robot was built to move along the trough lines independently. The mature fruit...

To improve the pod-picking efficiency of combine harvester for both peanut seedlings and peanuts, a longitudinal axial flow device is designed in this study. The fixation adjustment modes rod were determined. roller’s rotational speed, diameter, roller, effective rod-picking length, screw-feeding stirrer’s critical parameters determined by theoretical calculation. A combined design quadratic re...

Accurate and rapid recognition of fruit is the guarantee intelligent persimmon picking. Given changes in light occlusion conditions a natural environment, this study developed detection method based on improved YOLOv5 model. This approach has several critical steps, including optimizing loss function traditional YOLOv5, combining centralized feature pyramid (CFP), integrating convolutional bloc...
