Automatic 수확 로봇 소개

오토매틱(Automatic)은 대규모 원예 시설을 위해 개발된 수확 로봇이다. 온실에 설치된 레일을 따라 이동하며, 카메라와 센서를 이용해 어떤 방울토마토가 잘 익었는지 판단한다. 신축형 암이 송이 전체를 절단해 견인식 수납 박스에 담는다. 야간에도 작업을 이어갈 수 있어 수확 성수기의 일손 부족 문제를 완화한다. 부드러운 곡면과 진주광택 마감이 외관에 편안한 인상을 더하며, 어느 각도에서도 보이는 인디케이터 형태의 눈이 주행 방향을 알려준다. 장애물을 감지해 기계가 안전하게 정지한다.

디자인 비하인드

디자이너가 제공한 크레딧, 팀원 및 기술 세부 사항.

고유 특성: 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.
치수 및 패키징: 1230mm×1320mm×930mm
(not including cutters, cables)
Chassis weight 300 kg
태그: automated harvesting, robot, AgriD, cherry tomato, horticulture facility, DENSO, DENSO Design
생산 기술: 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.
디자인 과제: 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.
연구: 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.
영감: 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.
프로젝트 기간: Design development fully underway in March, 2019.
News released in March, 2020.
Demonstration unit begins operation at AgriD in Inabe City, Mie Prefecture, Japan
운영 흐름: 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.
