農業用ハウスでの搬送作業を担うロボットの研究開発

抄録

Currently, the number of farmers in Japan is aging. In addition, the epidemic of the new coronavirus has raised the demand for infection control measures. Therefore, there is a need for efficient production with fewer workers. In the case of plastic greenhouses, the physical burden on employees is high because they must work in a hot and humid environment while wearing a mask to prevent infection. To reduce the workload of the employees, we propose to use robots to transport the harvested crops. This system can reduce the workload of transporting heavy materials and reduce the risk of infection among employees. In this paper, we propose a robot to transport harvested crops in a plastic greenhouse.
