Algorithm for Determining the Singularity-Free and Interference-Free Workspace of a Robotic Platform for Fruit Harvesting by Dmitry Malyshev, Larisa Rybak, Elena Gaponenko, Artem Voloshkin

“…This paper proposes a robotic system for fruit harvesting, which includes a mobile platform with a fruit basket, on which a parallel platform is installed, and in the center of the moving platform a telescopic link is installed for harvesting fruit from trees. Numerical algorithms are developed for determining the workspace of platforms with a parallel structure, represented as an ordered set of integers, and for transferring constraints from the platform orientation coordinate space to the end-effector coordinate space. …”
