HISSbot: Sidewinding with a Soft Snake Robot
Farhan Rozaidi, Emma Waters, Olivia Dawes +3
Snake robots are characterized by their ability to navigate through small spaces and loose terrain by utilizing efficient cyclic forms of locomotion. Soft snake robots are a subset…
Optimization-Based Mechanical Perception for Peduncle Localization During Robotic Fruit Harvest
Miranda Cravetz, Cindy Grimm, Joseph R. Davidson
Rising global food demand and harsh working conditions make fruit harvest an important domain to automate. Peduncle localization is an important step for any automated fruit harves…
The Coupling Effect: Experimental Validation of the Fusion of Fossen and Featherstone to Simulate UVMS Dynamics in Julia
Hannah Kolano, Evan Palmer, Joseph R. Davidson
As Underwater Vehicle Manipulator Systems (UVMSs) have gotten smaller and lighter over the past years, it is becoming increasingly important to consider the coupling forces between…
An autonomous robot for pruning modern, planar fruit trees
Alexander You, Nidhi Parayil, Josyula Gopala Krishna +7
Dormant pruning of fruit trees is an important task for maintaining tree health and ensuring high-quality fruit. Due to decreasing labor availability, pruning is a prime candidate…
Optical flow-based branch segmentation for complex orchard environments
Alexander You, Cindy Grimm, Joseph R. Davidson
Machine vision is a critical subsystem for enabling robots to be able to perform a variety of tasks in orchard environments. However, orchards are highly visually complex environme…
Precision fruit tree pruning using a learned hybrid vision/interaction controller
Alexander You, Hannah Kolano, Nidhi Parayil +2
Robotic tree pruning requires highly precise manipulator control in order to accurately align a cutting implement with the desired pruning point at the correct angle. Simultaneousl…
Semantics-guided Skeletonization of Sweet Cherry Trees for Robotic Pruning
Alexander You, Cindy Grimm, Abhisesh Silwal +1
Dormant pruning for fresh market fruit trees is a relatively unexplored application of agricultural robotics for which few end-to-end systems exist. One of the biggest challenges i…
