enhanced work volume. The device, indeed, is designed to provide in the same mechanism 
flexion/extension and pronation/supination movement, which are usually decoupled in elbow 
and wrist mechanisms in usual commercial devices.},

	abstract = {In the last few years robotics has been increasingly adopted in agriculture to improve
productivity and efficiency. Most of the efforts in this research area have
been devoted to fresh market fruit and vegetable harvesting tasks, which are generally,
time consuming, tiring, and particularly demanding. For many crops, harvest
labor accounts for as much as one-half to two-thirds of the total labor costs.
Moreover, harvesting is expected to be automated due to a decrease in the farmer population.
This chapter describes two examples of robotic system dealing with the harvest
of radicchio and post-harvest of fennel, respectively. These cultivations are widely
grown in Italy and their market value and production rates justify the process
automation. Radicchio, which is a red, broad leaf, heading form of chicory, requires
a stem cutting approximately 10 mm underground in order to avoid sudden
waste and to ensure appropriate product storage. Similarly, fennel requires a cutting
operation to remove the root and the upper leaves after its harvest. The quality
of the ready-to-market product largely depends on the accuracy of this operation.
In Section 2, a robot for the harvesting of red radicchio is presented comprising
a chain of two four-bar linkages as a manipulator and an optimized gripper. The
robotic harvester autonomously performs its task using a vision-based module to
detect and localize the plants in the field; we call it the radicchio visual localization
(RVL) module. Section 3 presents a robotic system for the automated cutting
of just-harvest fennel employing an innovative mechanism controlled by a visionbased
inspection system, which we call the fennel visual identification (FVI)
module. The FVI module is designed to analyze fennels traveling on a conveyor in
sparse order and detect accurately root and leaves, which are automatically removed.
Both visual algorithms are based on intelligent morphological and color
filtering optimized in each one of the two cases to gain computational efficiency
and real-time performance. Section 4 concludes this chapter describing experimental
results and discussions to validate our systems and asses their performance.},

	abstract = {In this paper an extensive set of experiments and a related mathematical model investigating
the dynamics of pneumatic actuators controlled by on-off solenoid valves, whose opening
and closing time response is based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique, is presented.
The experimental set-up consists of both commercial electronics and circuits appropriately
realized where particular needs are required. As well as providing a highly repeatable set
of measurements, valuable for future comparisons, the experimental investigation also provides
an appropriate base aimed at testing the performances of the analytical model. The analytical-
experimental comparisons show the ability of the theoretical model to provide an
accurate mean expectation of the position of the actuator less than about 2 mm. Such a capability
of the model is tested for several operating and initial conditions during the first five
cycles. The present theoretical model dealing with a non-linear dynamics phenomena whose
behaviour is highly transient should be considered an attempt aimed at providing a valuable
tool for designing control strategies without the need for expensive physical models.},
