Development of an Intelligent Strawberry Harvester: Robotic System Prototype and Simulation 1: Universidad de Los Llanos - (CO), Colombia; 2: Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia - (CO) This paper presents the progress in the development of an autonomous robotic system for strawberry harvesting, based on computer vision and deep learning techniques. It addresses the mechanical design of a robotic platform with three degrees of freedom, as well as its conceptual integration with a perception system composed of an RGB camera, a depth sensor, and an embedded system. Additionally, the modeling of the prototype and its incorporation into a simulation environment in CoppeliaSim are presented as a preliminary step to the physical validation of the system. For the perception stage, a classic computer vision approach was implemented, combining image segmentation techniques with convolutional neural network models for classifying fruit into harvestable and unharvestable states. Different neural network architectures were evaluated, achieving performances exceeding 95% accuracy in a controlled environment, demonstrating the system's potential for fruit sorting applications. Finally, the foundations for future stages of the project are established, which include the integration of the perception system with the robot's movement, the validation of the system in more realistic environments, and the comparison with end-to-end approaches based on detection through deep learning. | |
