The purpose of this research is to develop a robot which assist to harvest citrus fruits in an orchard in the Seto Inland Sea island. The robot carries the fruits between trees and monorail. During this work, the robot needs to transfer the fruits to load carrying bed on the monorail. In previous paper, several mechanisms were developed. However, the robot didn't have the fruits transferring function. Therefore, the transferring mechanism are developed.
In this mechanism, basket with fruits is transferred to the load carrying bed. We produced the robot and evaluated the performance of the robot. Especially, the transferring mechanism is described in detail.
