METHOD FOR MECHANIZATION AND AUTOMATION OF HARVESTING BASED ON INDIVIDUAL MOBILE EXOSKELETONS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A01D46/00 B25J13/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method consists in selection of fruits by visually distinguishable criteria, such as color, size and quality, harvesting in bags, unloading of fruits from bags as they are filled into baskets for further transportation to packing or processing shop. During harvesting to assembler, exoskeleton is fixed, which consists of carcass with attachment elements to body, two pairs of levers articulated with each other, which perform functions of hip and ankle, with frame and support of foot, as well as from mechanically or automatically extending rod with grips, fixed to hand for performance of technological operations for harvesting in agricultural production.

EFFECT: enabling reduction of energy consumption with increase in efficiency, productivity and speed of harvesting, reduced load on the musculoskeletal system of the collector when carrying weights, inclinations, squat squats, during prolonged standing work, as well as increased lifting capacity with the help of mechanized or automated exoskeleton assemblies.
