A Design Criterion Based on Shear Energy Consumption for Robotic Harvesting Tools

A Design Criterion Based on Shear Energy Consumption for Robotic Harvesting Tools

Smart and precise agriculture has increasingly been developed in the last decade, and with that, the idea of optimizing the tools commonly used in this field. One way to improve these devices, particularly cutting tools conceived for harvesting purposes, is to measure the shear energy consumption re...
