摘要

在充满活力的农业技术领域,爬树椰树的发展体现了在解决高效和安全的椰子收获挑战方面取得的重大进展。由于椰树树干和树冠的结构不可预测,设计无人椰树攀爬机器人非常复杂。关键的挑战包括开发攀爬机制,确保平稳的上升和下降,管理有效载荷的稳定性,以及设计一个有效的椰子束收割机,所有这些都会影响机器人的整体性能。为了提高攀爬机器人的工作性能,本文提出了一种采用双环结构的新型设计方案。该研究包括一个全面的静态分析,以确定扭矩值的执行器的平均范围。进行动力学和运动学分析以建立基本关系,从而在测试前预测机器人的特性。收割机采用四自由度机械臂。提出的方法在实验室设置的椰子树树干上进行了测试,并在10种不同椰子树的现场条件下进行了测试。在这些测试中收集的实时数据与实验前通过模拟做出的预测进行了验证。包括理论分析、模拟结果和实验测试设置在内的分析最终表明,该结构在整个爬升过程中保持一致的稳定性,即使在倾角和树干相对高度半径不同的树木上也是如此。双环设置的成功率始终高于单环配置,单环设置的成功率为80% ~ 100%,双环设置的成功率为100%。

Design and Analysis of Double-Ring Robotic Coconut Tree Climber for Enhanced Performance

Design and Analysis of Double-Ring Robotic Coconut Tree Climber for Enhanced Performance

In the dynamic field of agricultural technology, the development of coconut tree climbers exemplifies significant progress in addressing the challenges of efficient and safe coconut harvesting. Designing an unmanned coconut tree climber robot is complex due to the unpredictable structures of the coconut tree trunk and crown. Key challenges include developing a climbing mechanism, ensuring smooth ascents and descents, managing payload stability, and designing an effective harvester for coconut bunches, all of which impact the robot's overall performance. This paper introduces a novel design featuring a double-ring structure for the climber robot, aimed at enhancing its performance. The study includes a comprehensive static analysis to determine the average range of torque values for the actuators. Dynamic and kinematic analyses are conducted to establish essential relationships that predict the robot's characteristics before testing. A four-degree-of-freedom manipulator is used as the harvester. The proposed methodology was tested on a coconut tree trunk in a lab setup and field conditions across 10 different coconut trees. Real-time data collected during these tests were validated against predictions made through simulations before experimentation. The analyses, including theoretical analysis, simulation outcomes, and experimental test setups, conclusively demonstrate that the proposed structure maintains consistent stability throughout the climbing process, even on trees with varying inclinations and trunk radii relative to height. The success rates of the double-ring setup consistently surpass those of the single-ring configuration, with success rates ranging from 80% to 100% for the single ring and 100% for the double-ring setup.
