Robot in a green house
simply, i'm trying to solve green houses problem and the need of the human interaction in it. i care about this problem because it affect the food health and quality which is directly affect the human health.
To solve the problem, I decided to make a robot as a main solution.​​​
It will be a RC car which contain some of sensing elements as soil moisture sensor, temperature sensor and humidity sensor. Also IR sensor to make it move in a line​
The robot will walk in a certain track and measure these values:​
1-measure the soil moisture levels ​
2-temperature ​
3-humidity ​
comparing them with the desired values and make some decisions.​
These decisions could be :​
Move in a line.
Turn on a water pump(if the soil need watering )​
Turn on a fan (if the humidity is in high level )​
It will make this process every 6 hr
Construction Parts
I will made the car body from wood fabricated using laser cutting .
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
The Robot will take input signals from the environment through multiple sensors (Soil moisture,
Bluetooth module )
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
The brain will send a signal to the pump to water or not water the plant
And to the wheels to move
