Prototype of a watering autonomous mobile robot for mini greenhouse with manipulator and computer vision

Abstract

The development of a watering autonomous mobile robot capable of performing intellectual labor functions in place of humans is a pressing task in the fields of robotics and bioinformatics. These robots can be widely utilized in precision agriculture to conserve resources, particularly in the area of optimal plant irrigation. In the context of global urbanization, this study is dedicated to the development of a watering autonomous mobile robot for mini greenhouses. This robot is integrated with microelectronics and micro-automation systems. A prototype robot equipped with a manipulator and computer vision system was created. The developed irrigation schedule and planting methodology enable efficient resource utilization, increased crop yield, and reduced labor costs. Such an approach holds significant practical value for urban agriculture.
