Abstract: Cotton picking is completely manual in India. The cost of picking cotton has increased substantially due to increasing labour costs. The project proposes a smart cotton-picking machine which will increase the rate of cotton pickup per day compared to manual picking. This work also proposes a new algorithm in Image processing of the cotton plant to extract the features. The Intelligent Cotton-picking Robot consists of motion control subsystem and machine vision subsystem. The motion control subsystem uses a degree of freedom robotic arm. The strength of the cotton ball will not be affected by proposed system. It will also reduce the wastage of cotton. The farmers can also be benefited with higher profit level. This machine picks only the cotton ball without affecting the cotton.
