Vegetable transplanting is a labourious and timeconsuming field operation when performed manually. The semi-automatic vegetable transplanters are cumbersome to operate due to limitations on manual feeding rates of seedlings which vary with respect to work duration and skill of the operator. Automation in the field of vegetable transplanters has provided opportunities for savings in labour and time required for transplanting operation in open field and controlled environmental structures, i.e. shade nets or polyhouse. The advent and recent advances in transplanting technologies suggest ample scope of working on automated seedling pickup and drop mechanisms using robotics. Use of seedling pickup mechanism in automatic transplanters can repeatedly extract single seedling automatically from the seedling pro-tray with the help of a pair of pins or forks and drop at predefined location. In general, these systems comprise either a machine vision system or end-effector mechanism for extracting the seedling; gripper and a manipulator; indexing drum-type seedling removal device with ejector; or a pick-up system, feeding system and a planting system. Such automated systems have helped ease the transplanting operation and efficient planting of seedlings by maintaining the accuracy, precision and effectiveness in planting seedlings with minimum human intervention. This study highlights the research gaps and developments in smart transplanting technologies used in the field of vegetable cultivation.

“…For applications of seedling delivery system, different structural technological solutions have been adopted. Some make use of the chain pot delivery system for vegetable presently has been represented by Nambu [6] and Zhao [7] while the design of transplanter with two flexible discs has been offered by Hu [8] and Sun [9]. Potted seedling transplanted has been studied by Bao [10] while effects of falling height of potted-seedling and friction characteristics with materials of canal on planting depth has been proposed by Song [11].…”

In order to understand the performance of vegetable seedling transplanting mechanism, the movement of vegetable seedlings passing through seedling system was simulated based on Pro/E and ADMAS software. The equation of displacement and velocity of vegetable seedling were deduced. A nutrient soil bowl model of vegetable seedlings and a real size model were developed. We designed the parameters of vegetable seeding transplanting mechanism by theoretic analysis and optimum parameter. The validity of the parameters was demonstrated by simulation on the transplanting mechanism. The research can provide valuable theoretical principle for the parametric design, optima design and experiment of the vegetable seedling transplanting in the future.
