Chestnuts harvesting with a stoop is hard work in chestnut fields on the mountainside. Moreover, the harvesting work at the slope is in danger of sliding down. We propose a small chestnut-harvesting mobile robot operated by a remote controller. This robot consists of two main parts that are a chestnuts collection part and a basket to store the chestnuts. The collection part with many thin rods takes chestnuts using its rotation on the ground. The chestnuts in the collection part are removed by a claw to put them in a basket. In the experiment, the robot successfully collected chestnuts on the grass.
