Abstract
The conventional designs of automatic harvesting robots have several drawbacks, like the necessity for a wide path to easily move between the rows of plants in a greenhouse for movement, and a bulky arm that is not suited for reaching into the foliage to harvest an occluded fruit. These problems are especially true in the case of green peppers as they are more of a challenge for automatic harvesters than most other fruits and vegetables. To overcome these problems a novel monorail type harvesting robot was designed. This paper is the first report of the new green pepper automatic harvesting robot design. The results of performed analysis of the new design are described together with comparison with an existing green pepper harvesting robot prototype. The results of the performed analysis showed that the overall parameters of the new design surpass those of the older model.
