About
Minglei He is a researcher at the forefront of agricultural robotics, specializing in the mechanical interaction between harvesting robots and their target crops. His work is pivotal in bridging the gap between biological material properties and robotic end-effector design. He has made major contributions by systematically characterizing the physical and mechanical properties of tomato fruits and their pedicels, providing essential data for the development of more effective and less damaging harvesting mechanisms. His 2023 study on the mechanical properties of tomatoes, which has garnered 12 citations, directly informs the design of robot grippers, while his 2024 follow-up on pedicel characterization offers critical insights into the forces required for clean fruit-pedicel separation. This foundational research is vital for advancing automated harvesting, aiming to reduce crop damage and improve efficiency. By quantifying the changing patterns of pedicel properties, He’s work supports the development of adaptive harvesting modes, marking a significant step toward practical, field-ready agricultural robots.
