    Aiming at the damage of fruit picking robot during the picking process, an impedance control method of picking robot with parameter self-tuning is proposed. The rheological properties of fruit during picking by manipulator were studied by Burger’s viscoelasticity theory, and the variation characteristics of fruit deformation during picking, as well as the changing law between fruit contact force and deformation were obtained. On this basis, the impedance control system model of the picking manipulator is established, and the impedance controller is designed. Finally, by constructing the self-correcting change function of impedance parameters, the influence of different impedance parameters on the change of the contact force is studied, and then the control system is improved and designed. The simulation and experimental results show that the established impedance control system model can effectively realize the non-destructive grasping of fruit, and has high grasping accuracy. The expected grasping force is smoother, the overshoot of the contact force is greatly reduced, and the adjustment time is also shortened, which indicates that the control method proposed in this paper has certain application value in the control of picking robots.

    With the development and maturity of the automated robotics industry, more and more apple plantations are introducing automated picking robotic arms for fruit picking. However, the complex environment in which apple fruit is picked has made it an urgent problem to optimise the robot's picking performance through obstacle avoidance path planning. The experiment selects the Six degrees of freedom manipulator as the research object, and on the basis of its Kinematics analysis, introduces the introduction of artificial potential field (APF) to carry out the path planning of the manipulator. At the same time, it integrates it with A∗ algorithm to jointly achieve the optimization of the parameters of the obstacle avoidance path of the manipulator. In addition, in order to avoid parameter optimization falling into local extremum during the path planning process, the IRRT algorithm is incorporated to re plan the path, improve the smoothness of the path, and finally verify its obstacle avoidance effect through simulation experiments. The results showed that in the convergence comparison, the research method had the minimum loss function value and the stable fitness value as soon as the iteration proceeded to the 50th and 20th generation, respectively. A On the dataset, the research method had the minimum MAPE value when the iteration proceeded to the 45th generation, with a value close to 0. At the same moment, the MAPE values of the IAPF algorithm, the IRRT algorithm and the literature were 0.052%, 0.108% and 0.218%, respectively. In the practical application analysis, when the robot arm starts running in three different starting positions a, b and c, the IRRT algorithm's obstacle avoidance path has a larger arc and tends to reach the target location through a longer path, while the research method tends to find a relatively closer obstacle avoidance path that can be passed smoothly. The above results show that the research method is highly adaptable to robotic arm path avoidance planning and can complete obstacle avoidance path planning faster and more reasonably, providing new technical support for optimising the path planning system of apple picking robots.
