Post-Ejection Reorientation of Rice Pot Seedlings for Automated Transplanting: Mechanism and Optimization of a Cam-Driven Continuous Picking System
Precision rice transplanting requires pot seedlings to be released intact and in a repeatable orientation for coordinated conveying and planting. This study investigated post-ejection reorientation in a cam-driven continuous picking system and proposed a root-ball-leading, shoot-trailing target orientation. Based on sy...
