In fruit harvesting farmhouses where slopes are steep like mountainous areas, it is difficult to manage the trees and there is a problem of leaving fruits of high places. In the conventional robot hand, when it is out of the center of the hand, it cannot exert a gripping force and it gives a local force to the harvested product and hurts the fruit. Therefore, in this study, we introduce a mechanism that can grasp even if the shape and size of the fruit change, we can harvest fruits at a high position in an unstable place such as slope and develop a portable harvesting robot hand.
