A Survey of Robotic Harvesting Systems and Enabling Technologies

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive review of ground agricultural robotic systems and applications with special focus on harvesting that span research and commercial products and results, as well as their enabling technologies. The majority of literature concerns the development of crop detection, field navigation via vision and their related challenges. Health monitoring, yield estimation, water status inspection, seed planting and weed removal are frequently encountered tasks. Regarding robotic harvesting, a… Show more

“…Technological innovation in this process is pivotal for improving agricultural productivity, soil management, climate resilience, and environmental remediation [12]. Integrating complex data acquisition systems, processing algorithms, and control systems to develop automated harvesting platforms can address these challenges [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Moreover, high-resolution sensors and high-end computers can lead to expensive hardware expenses.…”

“…This can lead to the rotting of apples during subsequent storage as well as transportation, resulting in serious economic losses (Chen et al , 2023). The claw-type end-effector can complete the picking work better for the structured fruit wall-type planting mode, but for the unstructured fruit tree environment, if the picking robot approaches the target apple with a fixed attitude, the end gripper will be stuck by the branch or catch the fruit and the branch together, which will lead to the damage of the fruit, the fruit tree and even the robot (Droukas et al , 2023).…”

“…The potential of fully-or semi-autonomous robot systems applications attracts not only farmers but also global stakeholders, engineers from various classes, and scientists. Although most of the fully autonomous field robots are in prototype phase, some of them are already in the market and now capable of performing various tasks such as crop inspection [19], sowing and weed control [20], harvesting [21], targeted spraying [22], optimized nitrogenous fertilizer management [23].…”
