Data from: A method to robotically simulate supply chain damage in pear

This data is a companion to this paper: Amy Tabb, Scott Wolford, Christopher Gottschalk, A method to robotically simulate supply chain damage in pear. 2025. Under review. Videos.zip Contains two videos of the robot arm moving in the workspace, with a fruit box in the end effector. The drop movement simulates a drop motion, while the traveling movement simulates movement in a vehicle. drop_compressed.mp4 travel_compressed.mp4 robot_sim.zip A comma-separated file of the experimental damage data, including punctures, bruises, and percent of the fruit that is compromised. 8 replicates per cultivar were used. EndEffectorImages.zip Five .png images; these are shapshots of the end effector model in Meshlab. EndEffectorModel.zip Model of the end effector used for machining, and converted to various different formats. Box+Holder+for+Robot.f3z (Autodesk Fusion 360 file, original file) Conversions of the original file: Box+Holder+for+Robot.mtl (material settings file) Box+Holder+for+Robot.stl (3D geometry, 'stereolithography' format) Box+Holder+for+Robot.fbx (3D model Autodesk Filmbox format) Box+Holder+for+Robot.obj (3D geometry only) The 3D geometry files may be viewed via free viewer Meshlab. RobotPrograms.zip These two files are the code for the robot controller to perform the two different movements, traveling and dropping. To inspect the code, open in any text file viewer. The code was written for a Denso VM-60B1 robot and RC7M controller, and was created using the Wincaps III software. The file extension .pac corresponds to Denso Robotics PacScript. pear_drop_2024_08.pac pear_travel_2024_08.pac Mention of trade names or commercial products in this publication is solely for the purpose of providing specific information and does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
