Abstract

This work presents a system for the automatic selective harvesting of asparagus in open field being developed in the framework of the Italian National Project on Robotics. It is composed of a mobile robot, equipped with a suitable manipulator, and driven by a stereo-vision module. In this paper we discuss in detail the problems related to the vision module.
