Integrated Rose Bush Trimming
Trimming of the bush is done using a novel electric plant cutter attached to the Kinova Jaco arm, which is mounted on the platform. Trimming occurs after scanning of the bush shape from an armmounted stereo camera. Two different actuators and control algorithms were designed for topiary bushes (rotating blades) and rose bushes (stem clipper). Achieving this garden application required a combination of robotics and 3D computer vision research and innovation activities.
