Autonomous Control and Implementation of Coconut Tree Climbing and Harvesting Robot

Good morning people,

It is Sunday, even it’s a little bit cloudy, but it’s still beautiful Sunday though… ^___^. For me, Sunday is a day when we have to cook something interesting for the lunch, And today my wife and I made fried rice for breakfast (typical Indonesian Navy Sunday breakfast), and fish and chips for the lunch, because my friend gave some snappers and groupers this morning.

Anyway…

The resume for this week is a coconut climber robot design using arduino microcontroller. Very practical robot by the way. And here it is…

Enjooooyyy….


Author        : Akshay Prasad Dubeya, Santosh Mohan Pattnaik, Arunava Banerjee, Rajasree Sarkar, Dr. Saravana Kumar R.
Title             : Autonomous Control and Implementation of Coconut Tree Climbing and Harvesting Robot.
Source        : Procedia Computer Science 85 (2016) 755-766

Summary of Reported Research :
·      The purpose of the paper is to make a low cost coconut tree climber and harvester.
·   The kinematics and the motion of the robot are designed by referring to the motion of coconut harvester (human).
·    The robot consists of two segments joined by a pair of threaded rods coupled to motors and the mechanical parts is using aluminium, also it has 2 arms driven by motors for holding/gripping.
·    The other part is a robotic arm for cutting down the coconuts, which is attached on top of the climbing part.
·  The robot is automated using Arduino-Uno, motor H-bridge drivers, current and level sensors and other supporting circuits, but the cutting arm is manually operated by using remote controller.
·     Robot can be used in manual or automatic mode.

Strength of Reported Invention :
·      This robot system is a low cost system.
·      This system is simple and easy to build.
·      It can be used for industrial use.
·      It reduces the risk of harvester to be injured.

Weakness of Reported Invention :

·  The system movement is slow, because it uses motor DC rather than pneumatic or hydraulic piston as actuator.
