Abstract :
In order to promote the machanization of picking litchi, the end-effector of litchi picking manipulator was designed based on Litchi´s biological characteristics and its cultivation. Meanwhile, the kinematics model of end-effector was set up by analyzing theoretically. Moreover, analysis and simulation about its kinematics characteristics would be processed by applying its virtual prototype which is built in Pro/E and Adams. Through it, rationality about mechanism of end-effector and design of link parameters can be validated. Therefore, it provided a basis for the litchi picking manipulator´s further development.
