Automated Plant Robot

Abstract

This work is a Raspberry Pi-based prototype that has been built while keeping both the Indian agricultural scenario and hobbyist backyard gardeners in mind. It aims not only to act as a solution to conventional method of growing plants but also to approach along the lines of sustainable development. With our project, we are also aiming to optimize the amount of resources required to grow a plant. The model acts as the brain of the plant by providing directions to the technical implementations of the setup such as an attached pair of wheels and a water pump to act according to the requirement. This prototype could be a possible solution to majority of the urban population planning to have potted plants and greenery in their apartment but with space, time and effort constraints. Further details like implementation, advantages and future are mentioned in the next sections.
