Recently, China Agricultural Machinery Distribution Association, China Agricultural Mechanization Association and China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association supported the China Agricultural University students to participate in the US ASABE Robot Competition, and achieved good results. The final result included all the first place in the ASABE Robot Competition.
With the strong support of the three agricultural machinery industry associations, China Agricultural University of Engineering selected two teams, CAU Dream (graduate group) and CAU Beginner (undergraduate group). The students overcome short time, heavy academic tasks, and insufficient international experience. After many difficulties, I have experienced countless sleepless nights, from the design of the 'brainstorming' to the prototype of the 'four-two-pushing' team, from the optimization of the 'hard tough' to the improvement of the 'excellence', realized Agricultural engineering, electromechanical, mechanism, industrial design, agricultural mechanization, five professional integration innovations. In the automatic identification of fruits, machine picking, path planning, real-time measurement, data wireless transmission and other aspects of innovative design and system integration, ultimately The challenge, innovative design and efficient, reliable mechanical structure, completed the 'Apple' robot harvest with the highest operational efficiency and quality, and won the final victory.
The outstanding performance and innovative ability of China Agricultural University has produced important international influences. The ASABE website has a detailed report titled 'CAU Sweeps ASABE Robotics Competition'.
Since 2017, China Agricultural Robot Competition has been a long-term cooperation project of China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition. It will be held at the end of October each year with China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition. The champion team will receive the exhibition to participate in the second year of the US ASABE International College Robotics. Design Competition. The ASABE International Student Robot Design Competition is held once a year to inspire young agricultural engineers to become more involved in robotics and to improve their skills in robotics, mechanical design and manufacturing, electronics and sensor technology. Practical experience, laying the foundation for the development of intelligent agriculture. This year, 15 teams from 12 universities including University of California, Davis, Purdue University, University of Georgia, McGill University, Zhejiang University, China Agricultural University, etc. participated in the competition.
The exhibition uses its own capital and site advantages to provide a platform for the display of China's agricultural machinery and sophisticated technology, and to select the domestic elite team to the world stage. This year is the first time since the cooperation to participate in the US ASABE International College Robot Design Competition. Professor Zhang Naiqian said: 'The name of China Agricultural University appears on the homepage of the American Association of Agricultural and Biological Engineers website. It is very unusual. It is very rare. Even the universities in the United States have rarely existed, let alone the United States. Outside the university, it has never been before, China Agricultural University proved itself with strength. 'Professor Michael Gutierrez of the University of Florida wrote in the tweet: 'The CAU Dream team of China Agricultural University put forward a bold in the game. Innovative design, covering two lanes at a time and picking apples perfectly.'
This competition also reflects China's high level of intelligent agricultural technology. At the same time, a number of young and excellent agricultural engineers have emerged. In the future, the exhibition platform will invite domestic and foreign industry research institutions and universities, enterprise research departments, experts. Scholars and other participants will promote the in-depth cooperation between industry, academia and research in the agricultural machinery industry, and continue to build a platform for the front-end technology and enterprise innovation of agricultural machinery, and contribute to the advancement of science and technology and internationalization in the industry!
