  • Publication number: 20250191361
    Abstract: A factory mushroom picking robot includes a mobile platform, a chassis (100), a lifting device (200), a mushroom stick take-up device (300) and a mushroom picking device (400). The mushroom stick take-up device (300) is configured to take mushroom sticks out of a mushroom rack (4), and the mushroom sticks from different layers are taken through the lifting device (200). The mushroom picking device (400) includes a mechanical arm (402) and an execution end (403). The image data of the mushroom sticks are acquired through three depth cameras. Mushroom targets to be picked are identified through multi-view target matching and are divided in terms of the quality grade, so as to achieve graded picking. A vision-based graded picking method, a mushroom detection and grading method based on multi-view fusion and a non-transitory storage medium of executing corresponding method are further provided.

  • Publication number: 20250176482
    Abstract: This application relates to a collaborative control method for a picking robot based on collaborative picking and collection of mushrooms, including the following steps: picking, by a suction cup, the mushrooms, and conveying, by a built-in conveying apparatus, the mushrooms to a discharge port; dynamically adjusting a movement path of the picking robot; synchronously moving a receiving mechanism and the picking robot, and ensuring the receiving mechanism to be aligned to the discharge port; separating, by a separating apparatus, mushrooms that meet a quality standard and unqualified mushrooms, where the mushrooms that meet a quality standard and the unqualified mushrooms respectively enter a first dropping hopper and a second dropping hopper; grading the mushrooms in the first dropping hopper for a second time, classifying the mushrooms based on volumes and diameters of the mushrooms; when any dropping hopper is to be fully loaded, triggering the receiving mechanism to alternately operate.

  • Publication number: 20250148586
    Abstract: A method for detecting a display panel defect, including: collecting a panel image of a to-be-detected display panel, a plurality of first pixels of the display panel corresponding to a plurality of second pixels in the panel image; converting the panel image into a binary image; dilating each bright spot region in the binary image such that adjacent bright spot regions communicate with each other to form at least one closed communication region in the binary image; determining a region of interest mask image in the binary image in accordance with the at least one closed communication region; determining a region of interest in accordance with the region of interest mask image and the panel image; and performing feature identification on the region of interest to determine a defect of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 9828623
    Abstract: A method and system for sensing or characterizing a biomarker, such as a proteolytic enzyme or nucleic acid. The system comprises a nanopore sensor to determine a current modulation of a sample including a biomarker, and a predetermined substrate or nucleic acid probe current modulation signature for comparison to a current signature from the nanopore sensor. The nanopore sensor includes a nanopore membrane between two fluid compartments, and a power supply in electrical contact with the membrane to provide an electric potential difference between the fluid compartments. A detector is used to detect an electrical current through the nanopore as the polypeptide substrate, or components thereof, transits the nanopore under an applied electric potential difference between the first and second fluid compartments.
