Description
Harvesting presents one of the most challenging tasks in the agricultural field. While other areas within and outside the agricultural sector have moved to automate labor-intensive tasks, the selective harvesting of fruit still involves painstaking manual labor. Although progress has been made in the development of selective harvesting robots in agriculture, the proposed solutions still do not meet the requirements for commercialization and need further improvement from a technical point of view. To address the need to assess the current developments in technical components, we conduct a systematic literature review on recent publications in the field and depict our findings along three main technical components, namely vision system, manipulator & end-effector and robot control. The obtained findings show that a significant body of literature focuses on the vision system, while the results on manipulator and end effector and especially on robot control are limited.

Smart Agriculture: Technical Components in Selective Harvesting
Harvesting presents one of the most challenging tasks in the agricultural field. While other areas within and outside the agricultural sector have moved to automate labor-intensive tasks, the selective harvesting of fruit still involves painstaking manual labor. Although progress has been made in the development of selective harvesting robots in agriculture, the proposed solutions still do not meet the requirements for commercialization and need further improvement from a technical point of view. To address the need to assess the current developments in technical components, we conduct a systematic literature review on recent publications in the field and depict our findings along three main technical components, namely vision system, manipulator & end-effector and robot control.
