Machine vision is a critical subsystem for enabling robots to be able to perform a variety of tasks in orchard environments. However, orchards are highly visually complex environments, and computer vision algorithms operating in them must be able to contend with variable lighting conditions and background noise. Past work on enabling deep learning algorithms to operate in these environments has typically required large amounts of hand-labeled data to train a deep neural network or physically…

An autonomous robot for pruning modern, planar fruit trees

This paper introduces a system for pruning sweet cherry trees (in a planar tree architecture called an upright fruiting offshoot offshoot configuration) that integrates various subsystems from previous work on perception and manipulation and is capable of operating completely autonomously and requires minimal control of the environment.
