Speech Title: Research on Natural Rubber Spiral Profiling Rubber Tapping Robot

Abstract: Natural rubber, as an important raw material for industrial production, has an irreplaceable role in daily production, medical and health care fields and military fields. The traditional rubber tapping method is based on manual tapping, with low tapping efficiency and high working intensity. Automated rubber tapping technology can liberate rubber farmers from heavy physical work and poor working environment, reduce the rubber tapping industry on the technical level of rubber workers, improve the economic efficiency of the rubber tapping industry. In this study, a natural rubber spiral profiling rubber tapping robot is proposed by combining the knowledge of mechanical rubber tapping theory and automatic control theory. In this study, a natural rubber spiral profiling rubber tapping robot is proposed for implementing automated rubber tapping requirements by combining the knowledge of mechanical rubber.
