  • Patent number: 12369526
    Abstract: A flexible-rigid integrated gripper for harvesting fruits and vegetables in a breaking-off manner, and a harvesting robot. The flexible-rigid integrated gripper for harvesting fruits and vegetables in a breaking-off manner includes a base, a driving member, and a flexible harvesting mechanism. The flexible harvesting mechanism includes a rigid member, and a flexible body. The flexible body is internally provided with a mounting space in fit with the rigid member, and the rigid member is arranged in the mounting space. The flexible body is arranged on the base. In a direction away from the base, a thickness of a side wall of the flexible body gradually decreases, the mounting space gradually increases, and a flexible harvesting opening in fit with a fruit/vegetable is formed by an inner side surface of the flexible body.

  • Publication number: 20220264801
    Abstract: A method of controlling a robotic harvesting device to pick a target piece of fruit from a plant includes determining a position of the target piece of fruit, determining a position of one or more obstacles relative to the target piece of fruit , and plotting a path for the robotic harvesting device to be moved along from a starting position to a picking position. The path is plotted such that the movement of the robotic harvesting device along the path serves to move at least some of the obstacles relative to the target piece of fruit so that the obstacles do not impede the picking of the target piece of fruit .
