Our robot, HydroTrack, is a manueverable remote-controlled machine, with potential for automation, that is equipped with a water sensor, a camera module for an user interface and a GPS tracker. The system provides real-time water levels monitoring and uses GPS tracking to plot a map on an interface where the user can easily see the moisture levels of their land.
We are students from across Calgary who are committed to making a difference for our future. Since there is unlimited potential for agriculture-based technology growth in Alberta, we wanted to develop a product that will show agriculture as an attractive and exciting career for the new, upcoming workforce of the next generation while also trying to make farmers lives easier and help foster the growth of the Agritech industry in Alberta.
This product also has an environmental impact. With this tool, farmers will be able to make more informed and precise decisions concerning their watering practices. Which when paired with an effective irrigation system, our tool will allow farmers to more efficiently irrigate their crops, helping conserve water.
