Robotic Singulation of Tangled Plants
The development of collaborative robotics is seen as key to the factory of the future and the adoption of industry 4.0 in manufacturing engineering. This research aims to investigate the use of collaborative robotics in the production of horticultural crops such as herbs by understanding and imitating the fine dexterous manipulation strategies humans use with their own hand, and modelling these through advanced statistical learning techniques. Experimental tests will be conducted to gather data on hand control strategies and testing will include measurements of the extent to which these can be transferred for successful automation of herb singulation in a production line environment.
