Research on the method of shiitake mushroom picking robot based on CSO-ASTGCN human action prediction network

Introduction Automating shiitake mushroom picking is critical for modern agriculture, yet its biological traits hinder automation via target recognition, path planning, and precision challenges. Traditional manual picking is inefficient, labor-heavy, and unsuitable for large-scale production. In human- robot collaboration, computer vision - based human motion prediction enables efficient picking coordination, yet methods like LSTM and static graph networks struggle with robust spatiotemporal correlation capture and long-term stability in complex agricultural settings. Methods To address this, we propose the Chaos-Optimized Adaptive Spatiotemporal Graph Convolutional Network (CSO-ASTGCN). First, it integrates three core modules: the Adaptive Spatial Feature Graph Convolution Module (ASF-GCN) for dynamic joint correlation modeling (e.g., wrist-finger coupling during grasping). Second, the Dynamic Temporal Feature Graph Convolution Module (DT-GCN) captures multi-scale temporal dependencies. Third, Chaos Search Optimization (CSO) globally optimizes hyper parameters to avoid local optima common in traditional optimization methods. Additionally, a flexible control system fuses CSO-ASTGCN motion prediction with GRCNN grasp pose estimation to optimize grasping paths and operational forces. Results Experiments show our model reduces the Mean Per - Joint Position Error (MPJPE) by 15.2% on the CMU dataset and 12.7% on the 3DPW dataset compared to methods like STSGCN and Transformers. The human - robot collaborative system boosts picking efficiency by 31% and cuts mushroom damage by 26% relative to manual operations. Discussion These results validate CSO - ASTGCN’s superiority in spatiotemporal modeling for fine - grained agricultural motions and its practical value in intelligent edible fungi harvesting.
