Abstract：The hilly citrus orchards are difficult to harvest and transport with high labor intensity, which seriously restricts the development of modern hilly citrus orchards. Through the computer three-dimensional design, circuit construction and software control, the hilly citrus orchard harvesting and handling robot system was developed, and the performance test was conducted. The results show that the developed robot can meet the detection accuracy and follow-up transportation accuracy of hilly citrus orchard picking and transporting. The detection accuracy is higher than 97%， and the follow-up transportation accuracy is more than 90%.
