HUMAN-ROBOT GUIDING SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL OBJECTS DETECTION IN UNSTRUCTURED AND NOISY ENVIRONMENT BY INTEGRATED LASER AND VISION

摘要

A human-robot system and method for performing an agricultural task, the system including: a robotic manipulator with an agricultural tool coupled to an end effector thereof; an imaging device adapted to capture imagery of a target, the imaging device mechanically coupled to the end effector; a laser distance sensor adapted to measure a distance between the manipulator and the target, the laser distance sensor mechanically coupled to the end effector and collocated with the imaging device; and a control unit including: a processing unit, a monitor and a human-machine interface (HMI), wherein the processing unit is configured to display the imagery on the monitor and to receive markings from the HMI and calculate a trajectory for the manipulator to perform the agricultural task with the tool.
