AUBO robots are used in agricultural picking

"In the field of agriculture, picking fruits and vegetables sounds simple, but traditional manual picking is labor-intensive and costly. With the diversification and precision and scale of agricultural production, the requirements of agricultural production operations are gradually improving, accelerating the process of agricultural modernization, implementing intelligent agriculture, widely applying agricultural robots, reducing labor intensity, and improving economic power will be the inevitable trend of modern agriculture. ”

　　Bright red plump tomatoes, crystal clear cucumbers, tender strawberries, flawless apples...... In order to buy fruits and vegetables that are sophisticated and free of dents, it is necessary to carefully select them during the harvesting process. The sophistication of fresh fruits and vegetables is inconsistent, and it is necessary to selectively pick and harvest according to color, size and other indicators.

Selective harvest of fruits and vegetables is one of the most time-consuming, laborious and costly aspects of agricultural production, and the picking cost accounts for about 50%-70% of the total cost. In order to overcome the problems of strong seasonality, low power, lack of labor, and increased labor cost in traditional manual picking operations, AUBO and its partners have created fruit and vegetable picking robots that have come into being and become the right-hand man of smart agriculture. Now it has been applied in large quantities in Caoyang Ecological Agricultural Park, Xiangcheng, Gusu, Changshu National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, Beijing Hongfu Agricultural Base, etc.

Fruit and vegetable picking robots involve three major missions:

1. Use the visual system to identify the color, shape, size, sophistication and orientation of fruits and vegetables.

2. The robotic arm moves to the position of the detected fruit and vegetable.

3. Pick fruits and vegetables through the end-of-arm performer.

The above three missions are completed by the cooperation of the walking system, the visual system and the picking and fulfillment system. The visual algorithm guides the robotic arm to complete the identification, positioning, grabbing, cutting, and placing missions, and can pick a fruit in an average of 8-10s, with a success rate of more than 90%, and the speed and power "rolling" the labor, which can solve the problem of fruit and vegetable selective harvest under natural conditions, and also liberate the operator from heavy and repetitive labor.

The end of the robotic arm is equipped with a vision system, which can complete the acquisition and processing of information on the size, color, shape, sophistication and picking orientation of fruits and vegetables. In the face of the chaotic light environment of the orchard (vegetable garden), the diversity of fruit shapes, and the direction of fruit growth, you can make correct judgments, and pick sophisticated fruits quickly and accurately. The flexible picker can complete the picking of fruiting vegetables without harming the fruit, and can complete the harvesting of apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, melons and other varieties of fruits.

According to the diversity of agricultural terrain and raw materials, a variety of walking systems and driving methods of crawler, wheeled or trajectory are provided to meet the requirements of different scenarios. It is equipped with vision, laser or magnetic induction sensors to complete the path planning and navigation, and can avoid obstacles autonomously; It can also easily complete climbing and obstacle climbing, and can get used to a variety of environments in the field.

With the rapid development of fruit and vegetable production, the chaotic manual labor of replacing selective harvests can only be completed through picking robot technology. In the future, AUBO and its partners will continue to deepen agricultural applications, adapt to the inevitable trend of modern agriculture, and use robot technology to reduce labor intensity and production costs, improve labor productivity and product quality, ensure the timely harvest of agricultural products, and complete labor-saving and large-scale.
