In this work, we propose a novel framework for achieving robotic autonomy in orchards. It consists of two key steps: perception and semantic mapping. In the perception step, we introduce a 3D detection method that accurately identifies objects directly on point cloud maps. In the semantic mapping step, we develop a mapping module that constructs a visibility graph map by incorporating object-level information and terrain analysis. By combining these two steps, our framework improves the autonomy of agricultural robots in orchard environments. The accurate detection of objects and the construction of a semantic map enable the robot to navigate autonomously, perform tasks such as fruit harvesting, and acquire actionable information for efficient agricultural production.
