The automated asparagus harvesting robot we developed to replace manual labor, consists of a 3-D vision sensor to detect candidate asparagus by height, a robotic arm with an end-effector to grasp candidates and cut their stems, and a mobile cart to navigate asparagus furrows. Experiments in a greenhouse confirmed the robot's feasibility.
To replace manual labor, we developed an automated asparagus harvesting robot consisting of a proposed end effector, a robotic arm, a laser range sensor and a mobile cart for navigating asparagus furrows. The major feature of our robot are that it harvests asparagus speedily and works at whatever hours it is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
