The yield of sweet potato vines is large, making it a good source food. However, difficult to harvest due creeping and intertwining. Therefore, according the domestic planting model, this paper designed double roll vine harvester which can complete operations picking, killing, conveying header harvesting at one time. machine adopts process front rear killing rod bar lifting. key components pick...

Nowadays in agriculture the labour work is very important. This paper is proposed to reduce the labour work in fruit picking by using the image clustering algorithm in a machine vision system. For plucking fruits such as citrus, apple, jujube, etc., so many different classification techniques were proposed. This paper focus on the automatic detection of the pomegranate fruits in an orchard. The...

Navigation is a major challenge for autonomous, mobile robots. The problem can basically be divided into positioning and path planning. In this paper we present an approach which we call grid-based navigation. Though we also propose a scheme for path finding, we focus on positioning. Our approach uses minimal environmental infrastructure and only two light sensors on the mobile device itself. S...

In this demonstration, we are presenting SmartMonitor, a distributed Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system consisting of smart devices. Over the last few years, the vast majority of smart devices is equipped with accelerometers that can be utilized towards building SHM systems with hundreds of nodes. We describe a scalable, fault-tolerant communication protocol, that performs best-effort ti...

Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a genetic disorder caused by mutations to the q11-13 region on chromosome 15, commonly show severe skin-picking behaviors that can cause open wounds and sores on the body. To our knowledge, however, no studies have examined the potential neural mechanisms underlying these behaviors. Seventeen individuals with PWS, aged 6-25 years, who showed severe ...

The paper deals with an innovative device, enabling multi-point grasp, firm hold and gentle transfer of limp sheets to the sorting buffers, before the feeding of the assembly sections. The design process avails of fully implemented digital mock-ups and runs extended virtual trims, to accomplish the analysis of the prospected fixture dynamical behaviour, as stand-alone device and as integrated e...

Sweet cherries are attractive fruits due to their taste, color, nutritional value, and beneficial health effects. Sweet cherry is a highly perishable fruit and all quality attributes and the level of health promoting compounds are affected by growth conditions, picking, packing, transport, and storage. During production, the correct combination of scion × rootstock will produce fruits with high...

This paper investigates how the latency in a mobile network affect the quality of a highly demanding and sensitive application running on it. The application chosen is a bilateral teleoperation with a haptic input device, meaning a remotely controlled robot with force feedback. The latency of the two a 3Gand 4G Network were measured and simulated in application. To examine how the latency affec...

The rapid and accurate detection of cherry tomatoes is great significance to realizing automatic picking by robots. However, so far, are detected as only one class for picking. Fruits occluded branches or leaves pickable objects, which may cause damage the plant robot end-effector during This study proposed Feature Enhancement Network Block (FENB) based on YOLOv4-Tiny solve above problem. First...
