DexFruit: Dexterous Manipulation and Gaussian Splatting Inspection of Fruit
Aiden Swann, Alex Qiu, Matthew Strong +4
DexFruit is a robotic manipulation framework that enables gentle, autonomous handling of fragile fruit and precise evaluation of damage. Many fruits are fragile and prone to bruisi…
Towards Closing the Loop in Robotic Pollination for Indoor Farming via Autonomous Microscopic Inspection
Chuizheng Kong, Alex Qiu, Idris Wibowo +5
Effective pollination is a key challenge for indoor farming, since bees struggle to navigate without the sun. While a variety of robotic system solutions have been proposed, it rem…
Design, Modeling, and Redundancy Resolution of Soft Robot for Effective Harvesting
Milad Azizkhani, Anthony L. Gunderman, Alex S. Qiu +3
Blackberry harvesting is a labor-intensive and costly process, consuming up to 50\% of the total annual crop hours. This paper presents a solution for robotic harvesting through th…
Tendon-Driven Soft Robotic Gripper with Integrated Ripeness Sensing for Blackberry Harvesting
Alex Qiu, Claire Young, Anthony Gunderman +3
Growing global demand for food, coupled with continuing labor shortages, motivates the need for automated agricultural harvesting. While some specialty crops (e.g., apples, peaches…
