HARVESTING PALM THROUGH AUTOMATIC 

TREE CLIMB MACHINE WITHOUT HUMAN 

USING ARDUINO TECHNIQUE

     We have seen the struggles faced by tree climbers, especially when it comes to 

climbing the tall or areca nut trees. Here in this coastal area, we have lots of palm trees, 

but finding a person to climb and pluck the palm has been hard. Traditionally professional

 climbers have been engaged by palm planters for plucking the fruits from the top of the 

palm trees, by using their hands and legs, which is a herculean task.

To make life easier for present tree climbers, a new innovative tree climbing machine 

 can be used that would make life and climbing a cake walk for the person.

Existing Technique

This method is used for  coconut tree ,palm trees. The arm is given in up and down

 movement. The tip has a saw tooth blade which is used to cut the fruits/coconut. 

The machine can rotate by 360 degree Inside Spring load is fixed so it can compress

 and expand based on the diameter of the tree. 

Drawback

In this machine one human is present to operate the climbing machine on/off ,rotating 

purpose.

Proposed method

We use Arduino Technique to operate the robotic climbing machine digitally. Camera is 

attached at the top of the blade. so we are able to see the blader position. We can 

control the robotic machine using  Web Application. Usually robot can move by 

itself, but sometimes we need to control them. In this project I will control an arm

 robot using a smartphone. Arm robot there is a servo motor which is controlled 

through an arduino. Arduino receives a command to move the servo from the data

 sent by the mobile application. like people who communicate remotely, we need a

 wireless device, here I use Bluetooth so that Arduino and mobile applications can

 communicate.
