摘要： System that automates crop maintenance activities, such as cultivating and weeding, with a device that intelligently and independently controls two blades that drag along either side of a crop row using sensors to repeatedly track the position of the blades and of the plants in the row. Blades may be moved in and out independently using an actuator for each blade to contour closely around the individual plants, even if plants or rows vary in their positions, and even if plant sizes and shapes differ. An illustrative system may use a single camera and a processor per crop row; the processor may analyze camera images to locate plant positions and shapes, to plan blade trajectories, and to control blade actuators. The processor may be able to control blade movement precisely to respond quickly to sensor input on changes in plant positions, shapes, and sizes along the row.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention comprise an angled axis machine vision system having a camera system angled with respect to an axis of the coordinate system of the environment. This configuration has all of the advantages of the horizontal alignment while eliminating the inherent problem of utilizing horizontal and vertical lines in an environment for distance calculations when the horizontal and vertical lines are parallel or close to parallel to an axis lying between camera centers of the camera system. With the camera centers angled about the roll axis, horizontal and vertical lines in the environment appear as angled lines in images taken from the cameras enabling more accurate distance calculations. With the camera centers angled downward about the pitch axis objects that are near are more readily observed. With angled axis rotation it is still possible for lines in the environment to be parallel to the axis defined between the camera centers, but these instances are rarer than horizontal or vertical lines in real world environments. Embodiments of the invention may comprise a camera mount that is rotatably mounted to a support wherein two sets of pictures from each of the cameras may either be utilized. In one embodiment the two sets are compared for the number of lines which are parallel to the axis of the camera centers and the set of pictures with the least lines parallel is used for distance calculations. In another embodiment, the two sets are utilized to correlate the distances derived from each set of pictures.

摘要： An agricultural robot system and method of harvesting, pruning, culling, weeding, measuring and managing of agricultural crops. Uses autonomous and semi-autonomous robot(s) comprising machine-vision using cameras that identify and locate the fruit on each tree, points on a vine to prune, etc., or may be utilized in measuring agricultural parameters or aid in managing agricultural resources. The cameras may be coupled with an arm or other implement to allow views from inside the plant when performing the desired agricultural function. A robot moves through a field first to “map” the plant locations, number and size of fruit and approximate positions of fruit or map the cordons and canes of grape vines. Once the map is complete, a robot or server can create an action plan that a robot may implement. An action plan may comprise operations and data specifying the agricultural function to perform.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention comprise a system and method that enable robotic harvesting of agricultural crops. One approach for automating the harvesting of fresh fruits and vegetables is to use a robot comprising a machine-vision system containing rugged solid-state digital cameras to identify and locate the fruit on each tree, coupled with a picking system to perform the picking. In one embodiment of the invention a robot moves through a field first to “map” the field to determine plant locations, the number and size of fruit on the plants and the approximate positions of the fruit on each plant. A robot employed in this embodiment may comprise a GPS sensor to simplify the mapping process. At least one camera on at least one arm of a robot may be mounted in appropriately shaped protective enclosure so that a camera can be physically moved into the canopy of the plant if necessary to map fruit locations from inside the canopy. Once the map of the fruit is complete for a field, the robot can plan and implement an efficient picking plan for itself or another robot. In one embodiment of the invention, a scout robot or harvest robot determines a picking plan in advance of picking a tree. This may be done if the map is finished hours, days or weeks before a robot is scheduled to harvest, or if the picking plan algorithm selected requires significant computational time and cannot be implemented in “real time” by the harvesting robot as it is picking the field. If the picking algorithm selected is less computationally intense, the harvester may calculate the plan as it is harvesting. The system harvests according to the selected picking plan. The picking plan may be generated in the scout robot, harvest robot or on a server. Each of the elements in the system may be configured to communicate with each other using wireless communications technologies.
摘要翻译：本发明的实施例包括能够机械化收获农作物的系统和方法。用于自动收获新鲜水果和蔬菜的一种方法是使用机器人，其包括包含坚固的固态数字照相机的机器视觉系统，以在每棵树上识别和定位果实，并与拾取系统结合以执行拾取。在本发明的一个实施例中，机器人首先移动场以“映射”该场以确定植物位置，植物上果实的数量和大小以及每个植物上果实的大致位置。在该实施例中使用的机器人可以包括GPS传感器，以简化映射过程。在机器人的至少一个臂上的至少一个摄像机可以安装在适当形状的保护性外壳中，使得摄像机可以被物理地移动到植物的顶盖中，如果需要，可以从树冠内部映射水果位置。一旦水果地图完成了一个领域，机器人可以为自己或另一个机器人制定和实施有效的采摘计划。在本发明的一个实施例中，侦察机器人或收获机器人在拾取树之前确定拾取计划。如果地图在机器人计划收获之前的几个小时，几天或几周内完成，或者如果选择的拣选计划算法需要大量的计算时间，并且在采摘机器人正在采摘时无法“实时”地实施地图场。如果选择的选择算法计算量较小，收割机可能会在收获时计算出计划。系统根据选定的采摘计划收获。拾取计划可以在侦察机器人，收获机器人或服务器上生成。系统中的每个元件可以被配置为使用无线通信技术彼此通信。
