Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

THE EFFECT OF NAPHTHENIC ACIDS (NAs) ON THE RESPONSE OF ‘GOLDEN DELICIOUS’ AND ‘FUJI’ APPLE TREES ON CHEMICAL THINNING WITH NAA

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2016
NAA (α-naphthylacetic acid) thins apple fruits inconsistently regarding fruit set and weight and may cause small or misshapen fruits occurrence. Considering hormonal activity, surfactant properties and the impact of naphthenic acids (NAs) on the metabo ...

Defoliation and Fruit Set in Guava1

open access: yesHortScience, 1975
Abstract Flower buds of guava (Psidium guajava L.) are invariably borne on newly emerging axillary or terminal vegetative growth. Any cultural manipulation that will induce the development of this growth will ultimately result in fruit set. Defoliation with urea brings about “instantaneous” flowering and subsequent fruit setting.
