| contents | Self‐Adaptive, Untethered Soft Gripper System for Efficient Agricultural Harvesting Yunwei Zhao Wenwei Zhao Maozheng Song Yi Jin Zheng Liu Md Shariful Islam Xiaomin Liu Changyong (Chase) Cao Journal of Field Robotics ABSTRACT As modern agriculture faces increasing demands for efficiency and automation, this study presents a novel, untethered soft gripper system designed for autonomous and efficient harvesting. At the core of this innovation is a piston‐driven, pneumatically actuated gripper embedded with flexible tactile sensors, enabling operation without an external air source. The system integrates a compact motorized syringe, forming a closed‐loop fluid circuit that provides precise pressure control for adaptive grasping. The pneumatic actuation mechanism regulates air pressure from −30 to 180 kPa, allowing the gripper to perform delicate and adaptive handling, particularly suited for tree fruits and other fragile crops. A key feature of the system is its intelligent control mechanism, which seamlessly combines pneumatic and electrical systems to enhance autonomy and versatility in agricultural applications. The integration of size recognition and adaptive grasping, enabled by force feedback from embedded tactile sensors, ensures safe, efficient, and damage‐free harvesting. Demonstrating exceptional potential for autonomous agricultural operations, the untethered soft gripper system offers enhanced independence, maneuverability, and adaptability across diverse harvesting environments. Its ability to optimize crop handling while minimizing damage highlights its significance as a pioneering solution for the future of automated agriculture. 10.1002/rob.70013 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
