At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...

Two-stage harvesting is the main method for performing mechanized of peanuts, and picking device a core part combined harvester in China. In order to solve problem pod loss caused by "stacking", "impact" "throwing up" peanut plants traditional cam-slide spring-finger cylinder device, shovel-finger peanut-picking was developed used picking-up performance test based on study peanut-plant strip-pi...

In order to achieve fully automated picking of camellia fruit and overcome the technical difficulties current machinery such as inefficient service manual auxiliary picking, a novel multi-links-based machine was proposed in this paper. The working principle process device analyzed. mechanism kinematics equation given, velocity executive body obtained, well acceleration. acceleration at pivotal ...

The losses in fruits and vegetables in various postharvest operations remained high in which tomato is one of the major vegetable fruit. Tomato is a sensitive vegetable whose quality is substantially reduces due to physical damage encountered by various mechanical forces in harvesting, handling and other postharvest operation. In this study an attempt was made to determine mechanical properties...

To be competitive, an industrial robot picking fruits must be able to perform this task in an amount of time which compares to that needed by humans. Because the location of a fruit changes due to the picking of others, the determination of their location has to be performed on-line and also the associated path planning for the robot. This poses two major problems in the development of fruit-pi...

In Asia, decreasing farmer and labor populations due to various factors is a serious problem that leads to increases in labor costs, higher harvesting input energy consumption and less resource utilization. To solve these problems, researchers are engaged in providing long term and low-tech alternatives in terms of mechanization and automation of agriculture by way of efficient, low cost and ea...
