Intelligent In-Orchard Bin-Managing System for Tree Fruit Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
The labor-intensive nature of harvest in the tree fruit industry makes it particularly sensitive to labor shortages. Technological innovation is thus critical in order to meet current demands without significantly increasing prices. This paper introduces a robotic system to help human workers during fruit harvest. A second-generation prototype is currently being built and simulation results demonstrate potential improvement in productivity.

Investigation of Some Vegetative and Reproductive Characteristics of Five Apple Cultivars in ‘Guttingen V’ System
Orchard intensification is motivated by the desire to produce fruit early in the life of the orchard to rapidly recover establishment costs. Intensification is possible using dwarfing rootstocks that control tree size, induce early cropping and produce large quantities of fruit compared to the amount of wood produced. Therefore, this study attempts to compare some yield and fruit properties of ...

متن کاملApple Tree Physiology – Implications for Orchard and Tree Management
INTERNATIONAL DWARF FRUIT TREE ASSOCIATION Apple yield and fruit quality are the end result of myriad cultural practices (e.g., pruning, thinning, spraying), environmental inputs (e.g., light, carbon dioxide, water, nutrient supply) and physiological processes (e.g., leaf area development, light interception, photosynthesis, respiration). All of them are truly essential contributors to fruit pr...
