Type I-3 and Ⅱ-6 dynamic compliant wrists have been designed and made. Prblems in the production of compliant elements and the connection between compliant elements and wrists were also solved. A study on the results of tests of the function of two kinds of dynamic compliant wrists shows that the dynamic compliant wrist's compliancy function can be improved by adding metallic materials having higher longitudinal and transverse rigidity into the softer elstomer. And the design Principle is proved to be feasible and practicable. It can be expected that the use of dynamic compliant wrist will greatly lower the technical requirements of the shaft-hole assembly and the requirements in the resetting accuracy.展开更多

Industrial robot mainly uses high voltage electrical power, which is not available at field and outdoor operation. The only available and reliable power is a hydraulic from the tractor. The harvester robot consumes the hydraulic power from the tractor and at the same time the tractor can be used as a traveling device for the robot. This paper describes the study on the development of autonomous tractor for the oil palm harvester. The development took considerations on the design of the electro-hydraulic system and the control software for the robot structure to be flexible enough to operate in plantation environment.展开更多
