Button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) are picked by hand individually, which is time consuming and labor intensive. Robotic harvesting an alternative method to address this issue. Picking force motion critical for developing effective robotic mushroom picking end-effector. Mushrooms typically growing in a cluster. Conventional manual comprises combination of twisting, bending, lifting. To find s...

With the improvement of quality life, demands on button mushroom (Agaricus Bisporus) increase significantly. But traditional farming methods mainly rely costly human picking, which is currently facing time-consuming and labor-intensive problem. As machine vision technology becomes more mature, harvesting robot with flexible picking end-effector an alternative method to address this issue. Thoug...

OBJECTIVE Interactions between psychological, biological and environmental factors are important in development of trichotillomania and skin picking. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of traumatic life events, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociation in patients with diagnoses of trichotillomania and skin picking disorder. METHODS The study included pat...

In this chapter, we present the Multimodal Warehouse Project, which aimed at applying multimodal interaction to a warehouse picking process. We provide an overview of the warehouse picking procedure as well as the overall architecture of the multimodal picking application and technologies applied to design the application. Furthermore, we describe the execution of user tests of the picking appl...

The current study examined the frequency and associated distress of both hairpulling and skin picking behaviors in 1,324 college students using the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale (MGHHS) and Skin Picking Scale (SPS). In this sample, many participants reported significant distress secondary to both hairpulling and skin picking. Participants who endorsed relatively frequent hair...
