Abstract:In order to improve the picking efficieney of the mango-picking robotic arm, trajectory planning was carried out based on the establishment of both positive and negative kinematice models of the robotic arm, with its motion parameters were optimized through the application of intelligent algorithms. The Denavit - Hartenberg (D -H) method was employed to model the mango-picking robotic amm, while the 3 - 5 - 3 hyrid polynomial interpolation method was utilized for effective trajectory planning. Additionally, an improved spider wasp algorithm (ISWO) was proposed to address the specific characteristics of the mango-picking robotic armn. This algorithm primarily focused on initializing the population through Latin hypercube sampling, which enhanced the search stability by incorporating linearly decreasing stochasticity weights. Furthermore, a dynamic switching mechanism was designed to balance global exploration with local exploitation, thereby optimizing both search efficiency and convergence speed. Experimental results indicated that each joint of the mango-picking robotic arm utilizing ISWO significantly outperformed the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PS0) and the standard spider wasp algorithm (SWO) in terms o iteration speed and accuracy. In four actual picking experiments, the total picking time recorded for ISW0 were 62.94 s, 32. 22 s, 39.52 s, and 46. 11 s, demonstrating a reduction of 18.25% to 42.98% in picking time. The research result conclusively showed that the ISWO algorithm significantly enhanced the picking efficiency of the mango-picking robotic arm, providing reliable data support for subsequent related application studies.
