Conceptual design of a rose harvesting robot for greenhouses

Abstract

Agricultural applications has made over thousands years, and the entire processes dependent to people. The dependency increases the labor time of the process and as well as cost of the products. To overcome this problem, the automated systems on the agricultural processes are needed in the place of humans. Many implementations are made on the harvesting processes in different products, i.e., rose, apple, cherry, strawberry, etc. which shows the importance of automation in the harvesting. The company needs a system that makes harvesting of the roses instead of human in greenhouse. Conceptual design of rose harvesting robot is given in this paper which is covers need, intended users, functions and top level intelligence algorithm.
