中文摘要：一种机器人水果采摘系统，包括自主机器人，所述自主机器人包括定位子系统，所述定位子系统使得能够使用计算机视觉引导系统对机器人进行自主定位。 机器人还包括至少一个采摘臂和安装在每个采摘臂上的至少一个采摘头，或其他类型的末端执行器，以针对特定的果实或果实束切割茎或枝，或摘取该果实或果实束。 计算机视觉子系统分析待采摘或存储的果实的图像，并且控制子系统用采摘策略或算法编程或学习采摘策略或算法。 质量控制(QC)子系统监测水果的质量，并根据大小和/或质量对水果进行分级。 QC子系统与采摘臂分离。 机器人具有存储子系统，该存储子系统被配置为接收所采摘的果实并且将该果实存储在容器中以用于存储或运输，或者存储在打孔网中以用于零售。
外文摘要：A robotic fruit picking system comprising an autonomous robot that includes a positioning subsystem that enables autonomous positioning of the robot using a computer vision guidance system. The robot also includes at least one picking arm and at least one picking head, or other type of end effector, mounted on each picking arm to either cut a stem or branch for a specific fruit or bunch of fruits or pluck that fruit or bunch. A computer vision subsystem analyses images of the fruit to be picked or stored and a control subsystem is programmed with or learns picking strategies or algorithms. A quality control (QC) subsystem monitors the quality of fruit and grades that fruit according to size and/or quality. The QC subsystem is separate from the picking arm. The robot has a storage subsystem configured to receive the picked fruit and to store that fruit in containers for storage or transportation, or in punnets for retail.
