본 논문에서는 모듀울 로봇은 공장 자동화를 달성하기 위한 경제적인 방법으 로 기대되고 있다. 모듀울 로봇을 구성하는 모듀울을 개발 설계하기 위해서는 먼저 유용한 로봇을 기본 구조를 연구하여야 한다. 일반적으로 로봇의 처음 3개의 관절은 로봇 손의 위치를 결정하는 데 쓰이고 나머지 관절은 로(positional maneuverability matrix)과 방향기동행열로 구성됨음을 보이고, 가분성(separability)의 조건을 제시하 였다.또한 희전관절이나 미끄름관절로 이루어진 3자유도 로봇 팔의 3차원 공간에서 의 기본형태는 12개임을 밝히고, 3자유도 손목이 3개 방향을 완전히 조정할 수 있기 위해서는 3개의 회전관절축이 서로 직교하여야 함을 보였다.

In this paper, it is reported that manipulator and hand-required for harvesting tomato were studied. At first, basic physical properties of tomato plant were investigated such as position of fruit, length of stems and leaves, width between ridges and son on . Secondly , basic mechanism of articulate manipulators with 5 to 7 degree of freedom were investigated by using evaluation indexes such as operational space, measure of manipulatability , posture diversity and so on. From the results, an articulate manipulator with 7 degrees of freedom was selected and the manipulator was manufactured as a trial according to the mechanism. Thirdly , physical properties about fruit and peduncle of tomato were also researched such as diameter, length , picking force and so on. Based on the properties , tomato harvesting hand with absorptive pad were also made as a trial. Finally, after the hand was attached to the manipulator, harvesting experiment was done in greenhouse . It was observed th t the robot could harvest satisfactorily , not only since the robot adapted to physical properties of tomato plant was manufactured but also since phyllotaxis of tomatoes was so methodical that all fruit clusters emerged in the same direction.
