Overview

Dynamic simulations and kinematic analysis of a flexible end-effector show effective grape harvest with low damage.

Key Points

  • Grape picking efficiency improved with a harvesting success rate of 96.7%, while cluster damage remained at only 3.2%.
  • Simulations indicated a peak contact force of 11 N, well below the grape's critical rupture force of 24.79 N.
  • Kinematic simulation in ADAMS was used to analyze the contact force during the clamping process for precision harvesting.
  • Designing an integrated contact-force control system highlights the advancements toward low-damage grape harvesting techniques.
