Robotic Complex for Harvesting Apple Crops

Abstract

The article deals with the concept of building an automated system for the harvesting of apple crops. This system is a robotic complex mounted on a tractor cart, including an industrial robot and a packaging system with a container for fruit collection. The robot is equipped with a vacuum gripper and a vision system. A generator for power supply, a vacuum pump for the gripper and an equipment control system are also installed on the cart. The developed automated system will have a high degree of reliability that meets the requirements of operation in the field.
