Biomimetic crop picking robot

Abstract

A biominetic crop picking robot comprises picking pipes based on pneumatic artificial muscle, a generator used for feeding air pressure into inner cavities of the picking pipes, pneumatic pressure rate control valves used for controlling the air pressure fed into the inner cavity of each picking pipe, a pressure sensor used for detecting air pressure fed into the inner cavity of each picking pipe, a pneumatic pressure rate controller used for coordinating and controlling each pneumatic pressure rate control valve, a pulse type vacuum generation module used for sucking picked objects, a picking control subsystem used for controlling and performing picking action, a container used for collecting the picked objects, a microprocessor used for intelligently analyzing a video, autonomously navigating and controlling the action of the picking pipes based on the pneumatic artificial muscle and a walking part used for the work of a picking robot in a picking crop area. The biominetic crop picking robot has the advantages of excellent natural flexibility, simple mechanism, low control complexity, high picking efficiency, excellent environmental adaptability, and low manufacturing and maintenance costs.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the application of pneumatic artificial muscle technology, pneumatic servo control technology and picking robot technology in the automatic picking of granular crops, and is especially suitable for automatic picking of cotton. Background technique [0002] Crop picking is the most time-consuming and laborious link in the crop production chain. At the same time, the quality of the picking operations directly affects the subsequent processing and storage of the products. How to obtain high-quality products at low cost is a problem that must be paid attention to and considered in the process of crop production. Due to the complexity of picking operations, the current level of automation and intelligence in my country's picking is still low. Basically, crop picking operations are carried out manually. For cotton picking, the cost of manual picking is about 800 million yuan per year. With the aging of the population and the reduction o...
