The goal of the project is the conception and design of a semi-autonomous, mobile robotic system, which is able to autonomously gather fruit. Current robotic system are mostly only deployed in greenhouses. In contrast to that the target scenario of the project is the application of a robot on an open field, including typical environmental influences. Having multiple possible applications in mind, the project attempts to develop a low-cost system, which can be operated also by small or medium sized companies. Large-scale application can be considered by parallel deployment of multiple systems. The focus of the application scenario is on strawberry gathering operations. We purposely selected a delicate soft fruit, which poses different challenges on robotic hardware, perception and manipulation.
