Key Techniques and Research Statue for Cotton Picking Robot

Abstract

The research and development status of mechanism-based cotton harvester is reviewed,and the model system of intelligent cotton picking robot based on computer vision is constructed.Then the practice value for cotton picking robot is analyzed in this paper.Also,the particular working environment and objects are introduced and the relevant key techniques are summarized,including the optimized construction design of cotton picking robot,the automatic recognition and classification,the path planning and the technique of motion control,etc.Finally,the existing main problems and the corresponding strategies are pointed out.
