Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2008
A cherry-harvesting robot was manufactured for trial purposes and basic experiments were conducted. The main parts of the robot are a manipulator 4 degrees of freedom (DOF), a 3-D vision sensor, an end effector, a computer, and a traveling device. The 3-D vision sensor was equipped with red and infrared laser diodes.

Energy Harvesting for Robots with Adaptive Morphology
Soft Robotics, 2023Robots primarily made of soft and elastic materials have potential applications such as traveling in confined spaces due to their adaptive morphology. However, their energy efficiency is still subject to improvement. Although a possible approach to increase efficiency is by harvesting the energy used during their behavioral motion, it is not trivial to

Planning the sequence of tasks for harvesting robots
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2020Abstract A methodology for planning the sequence of tasks for a harvesting robot is presented. The fruit targets are situated at unknown locations and must be detected by the robot through a sequence of sensing tasks. Once the targets are detected, the robot must execute a harvest action at each target location.

Harvest-order planning for a multiarm robotic harvester
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2014Abstract A multiarm robotic harvester is being developed for two-dimensional crops such as melons. A number of Cartesian manipulators, mounted in parallel on a rectangular frame, traverse laterally across the crop bed as the frame moves along it. The robotic arms reach down to pick melons and place them on adjacent lateral conveyors.

Development of “STORK”, a watermelon-harvesting robot
Artificial Life and Robotics, 1999Recently, the production of heavy fruit and vegetables has been decreasing in Japan because strenuous labor is require to harvest them. A robot would allow them to be harvested more easily. We have developed the robot “STORK” to harvest watermelons. STORK has a low mass and a long working range.

Robotic Right Gastroepiploic Artery Harvesting
Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2009Objective Robotic surgery promises to extend the capabilities of the minimally invasive surgeon, and many surgical specialties are applying this new technology. However, there is no report of robotic harvesting of the right gastroepiploic artery (rGEA). We evaluated the possibility of video-endoscopic dissection

Localization of spherical fruits for robotic harvesting
Machine Vision and Applications, 2001The orange picking robot (OPR) is a project for developing a robot that is able to harvest oranges automatically. One of the key tasks in this robotic application is to identify the fruit and to measure its location in three dimensions. This should be performed using image processing techniques which must be sufficiently robust to cope with variations ...

Proof-of-concept of a robotic apple harvester
2016 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2016There are no mechanical harvesters for the fresh market apple industry commercially available. The absence of automated harvesting technology is a critical problem because of rising production costs and increasing uncertainty about future labor availability. This paper presents the preliminary design of a robotic apple harvester.
