1P1-S04 Tomato-harvesting robot Competition(RoboCup and Robot Contest)

Abstract

Japan is a developed country of the robot, and study of various robots have been actively conducted. However, most robots have been put to practical use in society is an industrial robot. Agricultural robots are not practically used yet. Being able to introduce agricultural robot disseminate, it can be expected labor saving, automation, and productivity improvement. We aim at the development of agricultural robot through the holding of competitions of the tomato harvest. It unites the interest of robot technology and interest in the natural environment. It is an object of the invention is introduced into agricultural technologies developed in the course of the competition, and disseminating agricultural robot.
