Haalbaarheidsstudie sensor fusion en beeldverwerking voor selectief oogsten Broccoli : Eindrapport PPL

Dit rapport bevat de resultaten en conclusies van de haalbaarheidsstudie sensorfusion en beeldverwerking voor het selectief oogsten van broccoli (119), verplichting 1300012084 dat Wageningen UR in opdracht van het Ministerie van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie heeft uitgevoerd. Het project draagt bij aan de verdere ontwikkeling van een broccoli oogstmachine. Doel van de studie is om de haalbaarheid aan te tonen om met beeldvormende technieken en combinaties van sensoren om Broccoli te karakteriseren, zodat uiteindelijk vastgesteld kan worden welke kroppen wel en welke nog niet geoogst dienen te worden

CROPS : Clever robots for crops

In the EU-funded CROPS project robots are developed for site-specific spraying and selective harvesting of fruit and fruit vegetables. The robots are being designed to harvest crops, such as greenhouse vegetables, apples, grapes and for canopy spraying in orchards and for precision target spraying in grape vines. Attention is paid to the detection of obstacles for autonomous navigation in a safe way in plantations and forests. For the different applications, platforms were built. Sensing systems and vision algorithms have been developed. For software the Robot Operating System is used. A 9 degrees of freedom manipulator was designed and tested for sweet-pepper harvesting, apple harvesting and in close range spraying. For the applications different end-effectors were designed and tested. For sweet pepper a platform that can move in between the crop rows on the common greenhouse rail system which also serves as heating pipes was built. The apple harvesting platform is based on a current mechanical grape harvester. In discussion with growers so-called \u2018walls of fruit trees\u2019 have been designed which bring robots closer to the practice. A canopy-optimised sprayer has been designed as a trailed sprayer with a centrifugal blower. All the applications have been tested under practical conditions
