• Title: Geometry-Based Grasping of Vine Tomatoes
• Authors: Taeke de Haan, Padmaja Kulkarni, and Robert Babuska
• Abstract summary: We propose a geometry-based grasping method for vine tomatoes. It relies on a computer-vision pipeline to identify the required geometric features of the tomatoes and of the truss stem. The grasping method then uses a geometric model of the robotic hand and the truss to determine a suitable grasping location on the stem.

• Abstract: We propose a geometry-based grasping method for vine tomatoes. It relies on a computer-vision pipeline to identify the required geometric features of the tomatoes and of the truss stem. The grasping method then uses a geometric model of the robotic hand and the truss to determine a suitable grasping location on the stem. This approach allows for grasping tomato trusses without requiring delicate contact sensors or complex mechanistic models and under minimal risk of damaging the tomatoes. Lab experiments were conducted to validate the proposed methods, using an RGB-D camera and a low-cost robotic manipulator. The success rate was 83% to 92%, depending on the type of truss.

  We introduce the Flatten Anything Model (FAM), an unsupervised neural architecture to achieve global free-boundary surface parameterization. Compared with previous methods, our FAM directly operates on discrete surface points without utilizing connectivity information. Our FAM is fully-automated without the need for pre-cutting and can deal with highly-complex topologies.

• A Vision-Guided Robotic System for Grasping Harvested Tomato Trusses in Cluttered Environments [4.5195969272623815]
  We propose a method to grasp trusses that are stacked in a crate with considerable clutter, which is how they are commonly stored and transported after harvest. The method consists of a deep learning-based vision system to first identify the individual trusses in the crate and then determine a suitable grasping location on the stem. Lab experiments with a robotic manipulator equipped with an eye-in-hand RGB-D camera showed a 100% clearance rate when tasked to pick all trusses from a pile.
