Project background

As one of the developed countries in Asia, South Korea is facing the problems of aging population and high labor cost in recent years, which poses a severe challenge to the agricultural production and rural economic development of South Korea.

In the face of this challenge, South Korea has begun to actively explore the use of robotics to replace manual labor in order to improve agricultural production efficiency, ensure food safety, and promote sustainable development of the rural economy.

Solutions

TWOWIN TECHNOLOGY and one robot company from South Korea  jointly developed advanced handling robot solutions.

The solution uses optical sensor + camera + ultrasonic sensor to develop an autonomous handling robot, which follows workers to collect crop products and automatically drives back and forth to the collection point.

Compared with the traditional manual handling method, the scheme can significantly reduce the labor cost and improve the agricultural production efficiency.


 

Optical sensor is the key component of robot to realize autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance.

By transmitting and receiving light, optical sensors can sense the surrounding environment in real time, providing the robot with accurate position information and obstacle information.

This allows the robot to autonomously plan its path in the complex and changing farmland environment and avoid collisions with obstacles.

Camera is an important part of robot vision system. Through the camera, the robot can capture the image information of the crop, and combine the image recognition technology to realize the rapid identification and positioning of the crop.

In addition, the camera can also be used to monitor the operating status of the robot to ensure that the robot always maintains good performance during the working process.

Ultrasonic sensors: Ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the distance between the robot and obstacles.

When the robot approaches an obstacle, the ultrasonic sensor will send an alarm signal to remind the robot to slow down or avoid.

This helps ensure the safety of the robot during operation.

 

 Program advantage

1. Autonomous operation: Through the use of advanced optical sensors, cameras and ultrasonic sensors, the robot can sense the surrounding environment in real time and independently plan the driving path.

2. Accurate positioning: Through the combination of optical sensors and camera data, the robot can accurately identify and locate crops and collection points, with an accuracy of more than 99%.

3. Efficient transportation: When collecting crops, the robot can automatically plan the optimal path to ensure that the crops are transported to the collection point in the shortest time, achieving efficient and fast transportation.

4. High efficiency load: the robot can work continuously for more than 8 hours; The maximum load power is 300kg, which greatly saves labor costs and improves agricultural production efficiency.

 

 Customer revenue

Improve productivity: By working with robots to optimize the crop picking process, achieve timely harvest and fast handling of crops, improve work efficiency and help farmers increase yields.

Solve the labor problem: reduce the heavy manual labor of moving crops and reduce labor costs.

Reduce worker fatigue: In the farm production environment, the handling robot can shorten the movement time of workers, solve the fatigue of workers, and further protect the health and life safety of workers.
