MECHANIZED ARECA NUT CLIMBER AND PLUCKING DEVICE

Abstract: This paper presents a novel areca nut removal technique using a wheel-based, completely autonomous tree climbing robot. The system consists of a base and two arms with four wheels, and can be moved as a differential drive robot. It drives up while hugging the tree until just the wheels are in contact with the surface, making the removal of areca nuts much simpler and quicker.
