湛江滩涂红树苗种植机器人 Mangrove Transplanting Robot
受广东湛江红树林国家级自然保护区管理局邀请,我们到滩涂看退潮时怎样种红树。工人抱着苗走进软泥,人越陷越深,有时连下一步都很难迈出去。要让机器帮得上忙,先得让它载着苗走到能栽的地方。
On the tidal flats of Zhanjiang, workers carrying mangrove seedlings can sink deep into the mud. At the invitation of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve, we visited the planting sites to study how workers reach each planting point during low tide.

底盘下滩,还要试什么 Design and testing
我们沿用治沙机器人中试机型的供苗机构和中空钻头,正为软泥设计宽船底,让更大一片泥面分担车和苗的重量。下滩试验时,我们要先量车陷多深,再看带着湿泥的根团能不能顺利落下。拔出钻头,还得检查苗是否站稳、根有没有被带上来。
We are adapting the feeder and hollow drill from our pilot-scale desert planter and designing a broad, hull-shaped chassis to spread the load across soft mud. We plan to measure chassis sinkage, test whether the feeder can handle wet root balls, and check seedling depth and stability after the drill withdraws.
