The arm robot manipulator is suitable for substituting humans working in tomato plantation to ensure tomatoes are handled efficiently. The best design for this robot is four links with robust flexibility in x, y, and z-coordinates axis. Inverse kinematics and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) application are for precise and smooth motion. Inverse kinematics designs the most efficient position and motion of the arm robot by adjusting mechanical parameters. The FLC utilizes data input from the sensors to set the right position and motion of the end-effector. The predicted parameters are compared with experimental results to show the effectiveness of the proposed design and method. The position errors (in x, y, and z-axis) are 0.1%, 0.1%, and 0.04%. The rotation errors of each robot links (θ1, θ2, and θ3) are 0%, 0.7% and 0.3%. The FLC provides the suitable angle of the servo motor (θ4) responsible in gripper motion, and the experimental results correspond to FLC’s rules-based as the input to the gripper motion system. This setup is essential to avoid excessive force or miss-placed position that can damage tomatoes. The arm robot manipulator discussed in this study is a pick and place robot to move the harvested tomatoes to a packing system.

Robots have infiltrated many aspects of human life up to this point, and with the term Industry 4.0, robots have even become the primary workforce in various factories. This condition necessitates that the robots collaborate without clashing. This paper discusses the application of two arm robot manipulators working alternately in sorting agricultural products. The proposed method employs simple image processing to detect the object and becomes the input to the system to control the robots. The effectiveness of the proposed method is enhanced by the application of a Fuzzy Logic Controller to smoothen robots’ joints motions. The average time required by the robot to finish their task from detecting to returning to standby position is 11.76 s for green tomatoes and 12.86 s for red tomatoes. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in controlling two robots to pick and place agricultural products using visual servoing.

Abstract This paper presents the design and development of a two fingered, monolithically designed compliant gripper mounted on a two-link robot. Rigid grippers traditionally designed by rigid links and joints might have low precision due to friction and backlash. The proposed gripper is designed as a single piece compliant mechanism consisted of several flexible links and actuated by wire through a servo motor. The gripper is attached to a two-link arm robot driven by three step motors. An additional servo motor can also rotate the base of the robot. While the robot is 3D printed using polylactic acid (PLA), the gripper is 3D printed in thermoplasticpolyurethane (TPU). Two force sensors are attached to the right and left ends of the gripper to measure grasping force. Experimental testing for grasping various objects having different sizes, shapes and weights is carried out to verify the robust performance of the proposed design. Through the experimentation, it’s been noted that the compliant gripper can successfully lift up objects at a maximum mass of 200 g and have a better performance if the objects’width is closer to the width of the gripper. The presented mechanism can be utilized as a service robot for elderly people to assist them pick and place objects or lift objects if equipped with necessary sensors.

In this study, a fuzzy logic controller with the reinforcement improved differential search algorithm (FLC_R-IDS) is proposed for solving a mobile robot wall-following control problem. This study uses the reward and punishment mechanisms of reinforcement learning to train the mobile robot wall-following control. The proposed improved differential search algorithm uses parameter adaptation to adjust the control parameters. To improve the exploration of the algorithm, a change in the number of superorganisms is required as it involves a stopover site. This study uses reinforcement learning to guide the behavior of the robot. When the mobile robot satisfies three reward conditions, it gets reward +1. The accumulated reward value is used to evaluate the controller and to replace the next controller training. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional differential search algorithm and the chaos differential search algorithm, the average error value of the proposed FLC_R-IDS in the three experimental environments is reduced by 12.44%, 22.54% and 25.98%, respectively. Final, the experimental results also show that the real mobile robot using the proposed method can effectively implement the wall-following control.

The traditional Denavit–Hatenberg method is a relatively mature method for modeling the kinematics of robots. However, it has an obvious drawback, in that the parameters of the Denavit–Hatenberg model are discontinuous, resulting in singularity when the adjacent joint axes are parallel or close to parallel. As a result, this model is not suitable for kinematic calibration. In this article, to avoid the problem of singularity, the product of exponentials method based on screw theory is employed for kinematics modeling. In addition, the inverse kinematics of the 6R robot manipulator is solved by adopting analytical, geometric, and algebraic methods combined with the Paden–Kahan subproblem as well as matrix theory. Moreover, the kinematic parameters of the Denavit–Hatenberg and the product of exponentials-based models are analyzed, and the singularity of the two models is illustrated. Finally, eight solutions of inverse kinematics are obtained, and the correctness and high level of accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this article are verified. This algorithm provides a reference for the inverse kinematics of robots with three adjacent parallel joints.

This paper focus on the trajectories planning for Delta robot, which is used to dynamic tracking, pick and place workpiece on packing line. According to the practical action requirements, defined the desired path for end actuator in Cartesian space. The control trajectories are divided into several line segments.

SUMMARYIn this paper a control law, which consists of a fuzzy logic controller plus a nonlinear effects negotiator for a flexible robot manipulator, is presented. The nonlinear effects negotiator is used to enhence the control system's ability in dealing with the uncertainty of the mathematical model. The control algorithm is simple and easy to tune as opposed to conventional control law which requires time consuming gains selections. To obtain fuzzy control rules, an error response plane method is proposed.

Technology is developing more and more to facilitate human life. Technology enables automation in all areas of life, and robots are among the most frequently used machines in automation. Robots can help with human work in all fields, including agriculture. A mobile robot manipulator is a combination of a robot arm and a mobile robot so that this type of robot can combine the capabilities of the two robots.
