In hilly regions,there is a large number of camellia oleifera forests,and currently,there is no mechanized e-quipment available for collecting camellia oleifera flower buds.This study designed a six-degree-of-freedom manipulator for collecting camellia oleifera flower buds.By analyzing the biological characteristics of camellia oleifera flower buds,the rotary-twist end effector could achieve efficient collection with a clean rate of 90%.The size of the manipulator was de-termined by the manipulator workspace analysis;and the end effector was loaded onto the manipulator for field test.The resul...
