Mechatronics Applications to Fish Sorting Part 2: Control and Sorting Mechanism

摘要

This paper describes the research conducted at Monash University (Australia) to design a new Mechatronics fish sorting system. The system consisted of a vision system for fish size identification and control and a sorting mechanism. This paper focuses on the control and sorting mechanism. The conceptual design and implementation of the Mechatronics sorting system is discussed. Also the new design of the fish sorting flap is explained. Also, an illustration of the integrated mechatronics design approach is presented. The paper also describes the overall structure of the sorting system and the control methodology. Lessons learned are summarised in the conclusions.
