(EN) AUTONOMOUS METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING, GRABBING, PICKING AND RELEASING OF OBJECTS
(57) Abstract
(EN)

The present invention provides an autonomous method and an autonomous system for detecting,
grabbing, picking and releasing of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB). The invention comprises
using a camera to visual data from a surrounding area where there FFB is present, using a
computer for processing the visual data by way of at least one signal (S1) to a processing unit (2)
which comprises a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a central processing unit (CPU). The
processing unit (2) has been trained using a machine learning algorithm using a plurality of visual
data (A). Once the processing unit (2) confirms that a signal (S2) is indeed FFB, a sensing
directional valve will move a grabber arm towards direction of the FFB. A sensor (4) is used to
measure the distance between the grabber arm and the FFB. A signal (S3) will be transmitted from
the sensor (4) to processing unit (2) which will then transmit a signal (S4) to the motion sensing
devices (5, 6, 7, 8). The grabber arm will then move towards the direction of the FFB before
grabbing, picking up, moving and releasing the FFB into a bin.
