Basic studies on automatization of chrysanthemum cutting sticking operation(part 4): development of planting device

摘要

In the previous papers of this series, detecting algorithms of chrysanthemum cutting for visual sensorand two types of leaf removing devices were reported. In this paper, a planting device which stickscuttings into a plug tray is described as a final procedure of this cutting sticking robot system. Theplanting device grasped ten cuttings whose lower leaves were removed by the leaf removing devicewith a plate and could stick the cuttings into a plug tray at a time. From the experimental results, it wasobserved that its success rate was around 95%.
