Abstract. This paper describes recognition and cutting system of sweet peppers for picking robots in greenhouse horticulture. This picking robot has an image processing system with a positioning system for two cameras and cutting a device to follow the sweet pepper by visual feedback control. A prototype robot system is introduced. Experiments of the prototype robot prove the performance of the...

This paper describes development and experiments of a picking robot for sweet peppers in greenhouse horticulture. This picking robot has an image processing system with a parallel stereovision, a camera positioning system to follow the sweet pepper by visual feedback control, and a cutting device. A prototype robot system has been made and is introduced. Experiments of the prototype prove that ...

The present work addresses an operational inefficiency problem at a semiconductor equipment manufacturing warehouse, Varian Semiconductors Associates and Equipment (VSEA). This problem is important because if unresolved, the warehouse is unable to meet the part delivery time target of 24 hours during the busy period. The downstream effects of the late part delivery are delayed production schedu...

Keyword-based linked data information retrieval is an easy choice for general-purpose users, but the implementation of such an approach is a challenge because mere keywords do not hold semantic information. Some studies have incorporated templates in an effort to bridge this gap, but most such approaches have proven ineffective because of inefficient template management. Because linked data can...
