| Research Abstract |
In ferst of 1997, cultivation of the watermelon for experiment, reperatability and accuracy of positioning, and the experiment of watermenlon fruits harvesting were planned.
Maximun error of the positioning is less than 35 mm, and the repeatability is less than 15 mm. The allowance of position error between the fruit and the pad less than 50 mm at light fruits and less than 100 mm at heavy fruits. Required vacuum was 49.5kPa, at that time required air pressure was less than 300 kPa. If leaves and vines were removed, all fruit could be picked up.
It is difficult to decide the position of the fruit by manual. Therefore the positioning using image processing have to dock the manipulator in next year. The positioning system has been developing by Dr.Tokuda at Kobe University
