Research status and development trend of end effector for fruit and vegetable picking
Currently,the harvesting of fruit and vegetable mainly relies on human labor to complete in China.With the contin-uous advancement of science and technology,fruit and vegetable picking robot will become a development trend to cope with labor shortage and promote the development of intelligent agriculture.However,there are currently problems with the picking execution mechanism of picking robot,such as high investment,diverse types,low picking success rate,and large damage caused by picking.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen research and development and improve it to better meet the needs of indus-trialization.This article summarizes the research results of flexible end effector in domestic and foreign countries,deeply explores the development trend and application prospects in this field,and proposes feasible solutions for the special environment of or-chards,in order to provide a reference for the development of end effector for picking robot in China.
