This project integrates 5G, IoT, and AI technologies to develop a watermelon picking robot, aiming to solve the issue of watermelon harvesting in agricultural fields. The robot features a hexapod walking mechanism. By combining machine vision with a fan, it can avoid crushing melon vines. It uses a watermelon maturity - processing algorithm to identify, pick, weigh, and code ripe watermelons. With 5G communication, the robot uploads field operation data to the cloud platform. The Beidou navigation system and A* algorithm enable its autonomous movement in the melon field. This innovation offers an advanced solution for China's watermelon - planting industry and actively contributes to rural revitalization.
Key words: 5G / Internet of Things / Beidou positioning / Hexapod robot / Machine learning / A* algorithm
