Wireless data transmission system of apple harvesting robot

The problems of chaotic and massive data link and inconvenient maintance usually existed in transducer data wired transmission on the apple picking robot. In addition, terminal actuators and transducers were very easy to fall apart and intertwine when translational joints stretched out and drew back. In order to solving these problems, the wireless transmission of transducer data was studied. The integrated design of communication module circuit, USB communication circuit and signal conditioning circuit for part transducer were applied. The wireless transmission of transducer data was programmed. The quality and efficiency of integrated design and protocol of data transmission were controlled and formulated to achieve real-time and reliable wireless transmission. The results showed that protocol of wireless transmission had good robustness, wireless transmission of transducer data had higher efficiency. The design parameters were optimized by considering experimental results and system overhead. The wireless transmission of transducer data is feasible for robotics-manipulator of fruits’ picking and other agricultural productions.
