: Aiming at the problems of seedling injury and planting leakage due to the lack of seeding clamping force detection and real-time control in vegetable transplanting, a force feedback gripper was developed based on the linear Hall element. The mechanical properties of the stem of pepper cavity seedlings were first analyzed to provide a basis for the design of the gripper. A linear Hall sensor, a magnet, an elastic actuator, and an Arduino Uno development board make up the grasping force detecting system. Upon picking up a seedling, the elastic actuator, which is connected to the magnet, bends like a cantilever beam. As a result of the micro-displacement created by the elastic actuator, the Hall sensor’s voltage changes and can be used to determine the clamping force. Detection avoids direct contact between the sensor and the cavity seedlings, reducing the risk of sensor damage. Finite element method (FEM) simulations were used to determine the initial spacing between the magnet and Hall sensor and the effect of the elastic actuator. Control commands are sent to the servo based on the gripping force collected by the Arduino Uno board. Finally, the functions of accurate measurement, display, storage, and control of the clamping force of the cavity tray seedlings are realized, so that the damage rate of the cavity tray seedlings is reduced. In order to explore the influence of the elastic actuators on the clamping force detection system and the performance of the force feedback gripper, a calibration test of the clamping force detection system and a test of the indoor transplantation of pepper seedlings were carried out. Based on the calibration test, the clamping force detection system has a sensitivity of 0.0693 V/N, linearity of 3.21%, an average linear coefficient of determination of 0.986, and a range of 10 N, which fully meet the clamping force detection accuracy requirements during transplantation. Indoor tests showed that the force feedback gripper was stable and adaptable. This study can provide a reference for detecting and controlling clamping forces during transplantation.
