Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The architecture of apple orchards can be converted to easier operation by implementing the use of a low‐cost, tractor‐mounted, dual manipulator based on a robotic harvesting system with lower degrees of freedom (DoF). To accurately avoid injuries by detecting apples, an efferent, real‐time vision system that includes a new gripping mechanism ...
