An agricultural robot is highly required due to decreasing of agricultural working population So far, fully automatic agricultural robots without any manual operations have been proposed. However, there are still many problems to be solved regarding economical and technical side of putting this robot during the harvesting season in practical use. To cope with the problem, in this paper, we propose a tomato-harvesting-assist robot system that an operator can select a tomatoes to be harvested. In the proposed system, a robot efficiently crop the tomatoes that are selected by an operator from several images.
