Designing a pepper harvester end effector
The cultivation of pepper (Piper Nigrum) is widely cultivated around the world including Malaysia. Malaysia is one of the major exporter of pepper in the world with Sarawak contributes 95% of the production. The harvesting process is normally done by local workers and there is no mobile robot sol...

| description |
The cultivation of pepper (Piper Nigrum) is widely cultivated around the
world including Malaysia. Malaysia is one of the major exporter of pepper in the
world with Sarawak contributes 95% of the production. The harvesting process is
normally done by local workers and there is no mobile robot solution. The
development of mobile robot to harvest the pepper is still in research level. The
purpose of this project is to design a pepper harvester end effector which able to
pluck the pepper berries more efficiently. An axiomatic design approach has been
used to accurately identify the needs and requirements in designing the end effector.
Through this approach, the designer will be able to point out the limitation, function
requirement and the design parameter by decomposing each function to multiple sub
layers. The end effector developed in this research is to be attached to the existing
design of mobile robots body. The end effector is made up a series of aluminum links
which joint by universal joint. The actuator system being applied to this design is
cable servo motor. The conceptual this design is hypothesize to be able to adapt to
the pepper plantation. |
