日本人1986年就升始致力于蔬菜苗嫁接机器人的研究．1993年研制出样品并在试验场试用，1994年夏向市场正式推出了该产品，适用于瓜类及茄果类蔬菜苗嫁接。手工嫁接，每人每小时只能嫁接100株左右；而该机器人只需两人供苗．每小时即可嫁接750～800株，嫁接速度是人工的三倍多， The Japanese started in 1986 to focus on vegetable seedling grafting robot research. In 1993, a sample was developed and tested on the test site. The product was officially introduced to the market in summer 1994 and is suitable for grafting of melon and eggplant vegetable seedlings. Grafting by hand, per person per hour can only graft about 100; and the robot only two for seedlings. 750 to 800 grafts per hour can be grafted, the rate of grafting is more than three times of that of grafting,
