Development of a table-top robot model for thinning of fruit
… of human labor, a concept of automatic selective thinning was pursued to improve the production of peach, apple and other fruits. In this research, a table-top robot model was developed to prove the concept, with an emphasis on a task planning algorithm. The algorithm moved a custom six-DOF …
