Abstract

We have developed an agricultural hydraulic robot to operate in the agricultural field. Using the robot, automatic harvesting experiments of watermelon were done. The results are as follows. First, the gripper should be modified its finger. Second, the manipulator and the gripper should be known precisely about dynamic characteristics of them in order to control adequately. Therefore, a new gripper was manufactured on trial by modifying its finger, and in order to known dynamic characteristics of the manipulator and the new gripper, the system identification was carried out with experiments.
