Design and Research on Visual Recognition System for Fruit Sorting Collaborative Robot

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of fruit sorting through the development of a collaborative robotic vision recognition system based on neural networks. Leveraging convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a substantial dataset of fruit images was collected, preprocessed, and utilized for training. The core algorithm employed was the neural network, particularly effective in pattern recognition and feature extraction. Integration with the control system of collaborative robots allowed real-time fruit identification and analysis using visual sensors during sorting. The system’s design considered optimization and acceleration of neural networks, incorporating advanced deep learning techniques like CNNs and recurrent neural networks. This fusion of collaborative robots, neural networks, and visual recognition technologies significantly improved fruit sorting efficiency and accuracy. The automated sorting process achieved through thoughtful system design and optimization reduces labor costs and enhances productivity. Despite notable progress in the design and research of collaborative robotic and neural network-based vision recognition systems, challenges and areas for improvement persist. Future work may involve further optimizing neural network models for increased precision and robustness and refining collaborative robot control strategies for more complex task collaboration. The collaborative robotic and neural network-based vision recognition system opens new possibilities in the field of fruit sorting, propelling the industry towards intelligent and efficient practices, thereby creating greater economic and societal value.
