Simulation-based reinforcement learning for autonomous harvesting

Outline

This paper addresses the complex manipulation problem of autonomous harvesting. Specifically, we present a simulation-based reinforcement learning (RL) framework to address occlusion and structural uncertainty (since every plant is unique). The goal is to rearrange stems and leaves to expose target fruits. We separate high-level motion planning from low-level flexible control to simplify sim2real transfer, ensuring that the learned policy generalizes to plants of various heights and shapes.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Target fruit exposure with a success rate of up to 86.7% in real environments using policies learned in a simulated environment.
Resilient to occlusion changes and structural uncertainty.
Improved generalization performance through separation of high-level planning and low-level control.
Limitations:
There is no specific mention of Limitations in the paper. (It is impossible to judge based on the summary alone.)
