Robots in agriculture, mechanisms, simulations, mechanism analysis, spatial mechanismsAbstract
The complexity of harvesting ’’soft“ fruits makes automation nearly impossible. This paper explains why automation is needed, reviews the existing mechanisms used in this field and shows the development of a new spatial mechanism. Kinematic analysis was carried out, followed by a dynamic analysis, which were both verified through the use of Matlab and ADAMS software. Finally, the results of the mechanism development and analysis were presented.
