The gantry like platform is a custom-built robot with 6 Degrees of Freedom robotic arm, custom imaging systems, gripper, growth lights, and growth bed to grow, monitor, 3d modeling for intelligent robot-canopy interaction and data collection.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><h4>Gantry Robot Platform<\/h4><div><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>Research Effort:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My research effort was in the design and development of the 3DoF end effector attached to the Gantry robot. Once a working prototype of the grab-and-cut end effector was made, the objective shifted to 3D reconstruction of plants (on a Gantry robot by taking multi-view images using a stereo camera) and grasping control. The stereo images were processed from the Rosbag files to create disparity images using a Deep learning-based approach called RAFT-Stereo. These disparity images were in turn used to create point cloud models of each disparity. These models were fused to provide a more detailed point cloud, capturing all 6 different views for each plant. Leaf segmentation was done to identify the top N leaves of each plant sorted by size. These were filtered to get individual leaf point clouds. Ransac best-fit plane method was employed to obtain the plane of the leaf and estimate its pose. This pose was used to compute desired end effector pose.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>Current Status:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the pipeline created is able to process rosbag files containing the stereo images, produce the disparity images using RAFT-Stereo and produce the raw point clouds from the disparity. These point clouds undergo pre-processing and filtering. Segmenting the leaves and obtaining the end effector pose is also done. The next stage is to control the robot grasping and refine the process.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>Sponsors:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partners: VirginiaTech, who are concerned with disease detection of the sampled leaves<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project Objective: The goal of the project is early-stage disease detection in young tomato plants. The plants are grown on a \u201cGantry\u201d table, where the Gantry robot is a Cartesian robot capable of traversing in X, Y and Z axes. In addition, a 3DoF end-effector is attached to the Z-axis. This end effector consists of a stereo camera and a \u201cgripper\u201d that can grip and cut tomato leaves for sampling purpose. These leaves are then dropped to a specific location on the table, where (genome sequencing?) is carried out to analyze the leaf for (leaf spot?) disease.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"O1\">\u25cbSponsor: NIFA<\/div><div class=\"O1\">\u25cbPartner: Virginia Tech (PI Song Li)<\/div><div class=\"O1\">\u25cbOverall Goal: Early-stage plant disease detection in young tomato plants using autonomous Gantry robot with image collection, leaf sampling and genome sequencing capabilities<\/div><div class=\"O1\">\u25cbCMU Goal: Robotic platform capable of autonomous multi-view imaging, point cloud processing and leaf grasping and cutting capabilities<\/div><div class=\"O2\">\u25a0Build robot: Jim, Abhi<\/div><div class=\"O2\">\u25a0Build End effector: Abhi<\/div><div class=\"O2\">\u25a03D Reconstruction: Sohan<\/div><div class=\"O2\">\u25a0Leaf Sampling: Abhi, Sohan<\/div><div class=\"O1\">\u25cbPeople: Abhi (lead), Jim, Sohan<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gantry was the platform for multiple projects including the T-REX Disease Detection project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
