Robotic arm picking apples
Published on May 21, 2017
Quote:
We had a robotic arm lying around and thought we’d have some fun in the lab with a new type of gripper.
Shown here is a UR5 arm configured to navigate to way points on a tree. Once in position, the gripper is activated, then the arm twists and pulls the apple from the tree and places the fruit in a tray.

We had a robotic arm lying around and thought we’d have some fun in the lab with a pneumatic pruner.
Shown here is a UR5 arm configured to navigate to way points on a tree. Once in position, the pruner is activated and a branch is removed.
