Abstract
A movable harvesting apparatus includes an end effector including a suction port to suction a harvest object, a vacuum generator, vacuum spaces in which a vacuum is generated by the vacuum generator, a switching valve disposed in a path from the vacuum spaces to the suction port, and a controller to control opening and closing of the switching valve. The harvesting apparatus reduces wasteful energy consumption required for harvesting.
