| Abstract | AIT currently has an agricultural field inspecting 4-wheeled cart, which is now rusted because of the recent flood. The cart was initially built to facilitate pineapple observation, detection, monitoring, 3D reconstruction and eventually harvesting. The cart was built with spoke wheels to be able to climb over obstacles and navigate the lush pineapple farm. The cart also used several monocular web cameras for monitoring pineapple crops. Right now, AIT wants to increase the mobility of the cart suitable for the pineapple farm environment and add a device to be able to harvest pineapples. In first attempt to do so, this project’s main goal is to develop a robotic system comprised of a leg-wheel hybrid mechanism and a leg-manipulator mechanism. Specifically, the development of the manipulator system that is inspired by a praying-mantis as described in this thesis. |
