A novel airflow ejection-wrapped clamping method was developed to prevent seedling damage during automated picking. This technique uses controlled airflow and a flexible clamp, optimizing parameters through simulation and experiments for efficient and safe seedling handling.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Engineering
  • Robotics
  • Horticulture

Background:

  • Current seedling picking methods (clamp-type, push-out-type) cause significant damage to seedlings.
  • There is a need for a gentle and efficient automated seedling handling technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a new airflow ejection-wrapped clamping seedling picking method.
  • To minimize damage to seedlings during the automated picking process.
  • To optimize parameters for effective seedling ejection and clamping.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical design and parameter modeling of the airflow ejection system.
  • Coupling simulation analysis (Comsol, Fluent-Edem) to optimize airflow pressure and duration.
  • Design and simulation (RecurDyn-Edem) of a wrapped clamping effector.
Keywords:
