Abstract
AlphaGarden is a polyculture garden tended by a robot using a learned control policy tuned with simulation, sensor and camera data. AlphaGarden aims to optimize yield and diversity while minimizing water use. This extended abstract considers how its seed planting algorithm could be used by African farmers.
