Spherical-like fruit picking robot based on machine vision and fruit picking method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a spherical-like fruit picking robot based on machine vision and a fruit picking method thereof. The spherical-like fruit picking robot comprises a picking device, a collecting device, a driving device, a console and a telescopic hose, the picking device comprises a mechanical arm base, a base rotating motor, a mechanical arm device, an end effector, an internal visual sensor, a large fruit shearing device, a small and medium fruit clamp and an external visual sensor, the end effector is connected with the collecting device through the telescopic hose, and the picking robot controls the picking device, the driving device and the collecting device to work through the console so as to complete fruit picking operation. According to the fruit picking robot, efficient picking of spherical-like fruits such as apples, pears, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, durians, kiwi fruits and grapes which grow and are distributed sparsely can be achieved, the cost performance of the picking robot is greatly improved, the fruit picking cost is reduced, and the fruit picking quality is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of picking robots, in particular to a machine vision-based spherical fruit picking robot and a fruit picking method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer technology, artificial intelligence technology and automatic control technology, picking robots are gradually becoming popular. A variety of picking robots have been applied on the market, such as apple picking robots, pear picking robots, kiwi fruit picking robots, etc. With the rapid development of society, people's living standards continue to improve. Fruit production is gradually scaled up, and fruit picking is becoming more and more intelligent. People's requirements for fruit quality are increasing, and fruit merchants are also increasingly demanding for fruit picking. For example, apples, pears and other fruits require the stalks to be retained. And the picking methods of common fruits are also different. ...
