Optimization design and simulation on structure parameter of eggplant picking robot

Abstract

Fruit and vegetable picking robot is a kind of optical-mechanical-electrical equipment in complex environment. It's structure and control are more exigent than normal industrial robot. The parameters' Optimization design of the robot framework and structure is made according to the eggplant's growth circumstance and distribution space.The robot working space are carried out and simulated through the Matlab software. Simulation results show that the arthral robot picking fruit and vegetable with 4 degree-of-freedoms meets the expectations for picking eggplant in greenhouse. The rationality of the structure and frame is validated by the experiment.
