Design and Simulation of an End-effector for Harvesting Round Eggplants
This study focuses on the design of an end-effector specifically for harvesting round nightshade fruits in or-der to promote mechanization and reduce picking costs.The end-effector is driven by a stepper motor and screw mechanism to control the grasping mechanism's opening and closing movements.TPU material is utilized for the claw to prevent damage to the fruit during picking.Kinematic analysis of a single claw was conducted with a calculated graspingrange of 0～168mm.Finally,kinematic simulation using ADAMS confirmed that the mechanism moves gently and has a reasonable structural design.
