Research on Stem Characteristics of Litchi and End-Effector of Litchi Picking Robot

Abstract:

In order to design a robot end-effector for picking the litchi, at first, the clamping and cutting characteristics of the litchi stem were measured. Based on the biological characteristics and cultivation growth pattern of litchi, the characteristic of litchi picking mechanism was analyzed, and the relationship between the moving mechanism and cutting mechanism was established. At last, a new type of end-effector for picking the litchi, which consisted of clamping mechanism, moving mechanism and cutting mechanism, was developed. The experimental results showed that the end-effector can satisfy the clamping, moving and cutting requirements when picking the litchi.
