Abstract :
The application of robot technique in forestry is introduced in this paper, and a robot of eradicating stump is developed. The total structure of the robot consists of a caterpillar excavator and a manipulator. The manipulator with six degrees of freedom consists of a turntable, an inner boom, an outer boom and a rotary cutting unit, and is driven by a hydraulic system of a dual pump and double circuit and controlled by a chip computer system. The test shows that the robot can eradicate stump successfully and efficiently.
