Design and Testing of a Four-Arm Multi-Joint Apple Harvesting Robot Based on Singularity Analysis by Xiaojie Lei, Jizhan Liu, Houkang Jiang, Baocheng Xu, Yucheng Jin, Jianan Gao

“…The use of multi-joint arms in a high-spindle environment can solve complex problems, but the singularity problem of the manipulator related to the structure of the serial manipulator is prominent. Therefore, based on the general mathematical model of fruit spatial distribution in high-spindle apple orchards, this study proposes two harvesting system architecture schemes that can meet the constraints of fruit spatial distribution and reduce the singularity of harvesting robot operation, which are four-arm dual-module independent moving scheme (Scheme A) and four-arm single-module parallel moving scheme (Scheme B). …”
