Research Abstract |
A chrysanthemum cutting sticking robot system was manufactured and tested to automate the chrysanthemum seedling production system. The robot system mainly consisted of four sections ; a cutting providing system, a machine vision system, a leaf removing device, and a sticking device. First, a bundle of cuttings was put into a water tank. The cuttings were spread out on the water by vibration of the water tank. The cuttings were picked by a manipulator based on information of cutting position from a TV camera to be sent one by one to next stage. Secondly, another TV camera detected the position and orientation of the transported cutting and indicated a grasping point in the cutting stem for another manipulator moving. Thirdly, the manipulator moved the cutting to the leaf removing device to arrange the shape of cutting. Finally, ten cuttings were stuck into a tray at a time. From the experimental results, feasibility to automate chrysanthemum cutting sticking operation was found. All the robotic components showed relative high success rates. To improve the percentage of success, it was considered not only that the performance of each robotic components should be improve but also that no-bent cuttings should be provided for the robot system.
