關於 Automatic 收割機械人

Automatic係一部專為大型園藝設施而設計嘅收割機械人。Automatic沿住溫室入面鋪設嘅路軌移動，利用鏡頭同感應器嚟判斷邊啲車厘茄已經成熟。伸縮機械臂會剪落成串果實，並放入拖行嘅收集箱入面。機械人可以喺夜晚繼續工作，紓緩收成高峰期嘅勞工短缺問題。圓渾嘅外形線條配合珍珠光澤嘅表面處理，令整體外觀更加柔和；而喺任何角度都睇得到嘅指示燈眼，可以顯示行進方向。機器仲能夠偵測障礙物，安全停低。

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。

獨特屬性: With a declining number of farmers worldwide, time-consuming harvesting is one area to save manpower. That is why we designed this robot to offer peace of mind when interacting with it. It features eyes that can be seen from any angle, indicating its travel direction and giving it a friendly image while its rounded top surface and pearlescent finish make it unintimidating. Its system allows it to detect obstacles and stop safely, and its top surface is free of bumps where dirt can accumulate.
尺寸同包裝: 1230mm×1320mm×930mm
(not including cutters, cables)
Chassis weight 300 kg

生產技術: A new level of harvesting technology has been reached via DENSO's unique image processing and robot hand technology.
1. A modular configuration was used for high versatility and to ensure cost reduction and a low barrier to entry.
2. For cleanliness, the top surface has as few recesses for water or dirt to collect as possible and cables are not exposed.
3. To ensure people can work safely with the robot, it features status indicator lights and has a system to detect obstacles and stop safely.
設計挑戰: In its early development the robot was angular in shape due to its internal mechanisms and complicated wiring. This combined with its large body size gave it less-than-friendly impression. To create one, we began with the internals, trying to devise a frame layout to achieve a rounded shape while maintaining functionality, and to configure the parts to reduce volume. Also, to facilitate human-robot communication, we designed indicator lights to be visible, so that they would meet peoples' eyes.
研究: Denso's goal is to integrate the entire greenhouse process into a system allowing people to do the work best suited to them, while machines do the work best suited to machines, providing local farmers with a lively workplace.
The system uses cameras and AI technology to detect bunches, judge ripeness and automatically harvest.
Replacing some of the work done by people with machines during peak harvest times reduces the burden on workers so they can work efficiently and not overtax themselves.
靈感: The world population is set to exceed 10 billion by 2050, bringing an increased demand for food. Food shortages will likely intensify in places with growing populations like Asia and Africa, as some areas are not suitable for agriculture. Japan and other developed countries are facing problems like fewer agricultural workers due to an aging and declining population and widespread food waste. By solving these, DENSO's goal is to reform the entire food value chain toward a sustainable society.
項目時長: Design development fully underway in March, 2019.
News released in March, 2020.
Demonstration unit begins operation at AgriD in Inabe City, Mie Prefecture, Japan
操作流程: This robot harvests cherry tomatoes for large-scale horticultural facilities. It moves automatically along rails laid out in a path on the farm and uses cameras and sensors to which cherry tomatoes are ripe for harvesting. The robot's arm can extend and cut off an entire bunch of tomatoes, which is then placed in a box pulled by the robot. It can even work at night when no one is around, contributing to labor savings, addressing labor shortages, and increasing harvest volume.
