Clone Nursery Plant Trans-planting Robot System With 3-D Vision System

Today, vision systems for robots had been widely applied at many important applications. But 3-D vision systems for industrial uses should face to many practical problems. Here, a vision system for bio-production has been introduced. Clone nursery plants are one of the important applications of bio-technology. Most of the production processes of clone nursery plants are highly automated, but the transplanting process of the small nursery plants cannot be automated because the figures of small nursery plants are not stable and to handle the nursery plants it is required to observe the shapes of the small nursery plants. In this research, a vision system for robot to be used for the transplanting process in a plant factory has been introduced.
