CUTTING APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR USE IN MICROPROPAGATION

A robotic end effector (48) for use in micropropagation comprises six resilient gripping elements (11) which are splayed apart by a transverse plate (13) carrying a blade (15). The end effector is placed over a plant to be divided, with the distal ends (14) encompassing the plant. As the blade (15)...

description	A robotic end effector (48) for use in micropropagation comprises six resilient gripping elements (11) which are splayed apart by a transverse plate (13) carrying a blade (15). The end effector is placed over a plant to be divided, with the distal ends (14) encompassing the plant. As the blade (15) is lowered, the plate (13) allows the distal ends (14) to move together and grip the plant which is then cut by the blade (15). The entire end effector is lifted and moved to a planting location. A fork (17) is propelled downwardly until the fingers (18 and 19) of the fork enter the region (16) and dislodge half of the cut plant portion. At a further planting location, the gripping elements (11) are rotated through (180), and the fork (17) is again lowered to dislodge the second cut portion of plant.
