Abstract
A tomato harvesting robot to work in large scale greenhouse has been studied by our research group. This robot harvested a fruit by bending its stem instead of by cutting the stem. Some fruits without calyx were harvested by the robot, although tomato fruit with calyx for fresh market are sold in Japan. To solve this problem, in this study, a harvesting end-effector was improved to harvest a fruit with calyx.
