Abstract
ABSTRACTRobotics is playing a role in changing the face of agriculture. The combination of robot competencies, vegetable seedling culture, and operational settings is required when using robotics in vegetable transplanting. A manipulator mechanism and control are used for path determination, picking, and placing of the seedling using an end-effector. Seedlings are fragile, and while handling seedlings through a robotic system, physical strength and morphology must be considered to design the end effector. This article explores multiple aspects and instances of robotics development for vegetable seedling transplanting following a review of the fundamental components of plant production robots. The recent work with robots on vegetable transplanting techniques is addressed. Even though robots are becoming inseparable aspects of modern farming.KEYWORDS: Automationend-effectorgrippermanipulatoroptical sensortraveling device Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vegetable Science features innovative articles on all aspects of vegetable production, including growth regulation, pest management, sustainable production, harvesting, handling, storage, shipping, and final consumption. Researchers, practitioners, and academics present current findings on new crops and protected culture as well as traditional crops, examine marketing trends in the commercial vegetable industry, and address vital issues of concern to breeders, production managers, and processors working in all continents where vegetables are grown.
