Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper proposes a design and optimiziation strategy for a four-degree-of-freedom camellia pollen picking manipulator. The authors intend to contribute to the literature demonstrating the benefits of the application of this approach in practice, improving the manufacturing of camellia pollen picking robot and upgrading it. Although the camellia pollen picking robot design is quite specific, the robots optimization design is a very relevant topic that has received quite a lot of attention recently both in academia and in practice. Although exists a lot of different papers in the area, this paper uses conducted a demonstrate the benefits of this design appraoch, reducing the working space and reaching the target space quickly and efficiently. The research questions are clear, and the research method selected is appropriate for the type of research conducted. The research background could be enlarged citing other papers that focuses on the robots design optimization. The design workflow is well described and the proposed approach could be adopted for other similar cases in robot design field. Results are presented in a clear way and are easily interpretable ,but could be deeper discussed. Good language and good academic way of writing. Probably the paper is slightly short by journal standards, a more robust research background and results discussion are required in my opinion. Also the abstract could be enlarged with other useful informations about the research work. In my opinion, the paper could be accepted with minor revisions.
