Abstract
In this paper, an Artificial Intelligence-powered cable-driven robot made by combining a cable-based parallel robot having 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) of operation with a delta robot having 3 DOF, capable of assisting in the farming activities like weeding, pesticide and fertilizer spraying, fruit and flower picking, and monitoring of plant health, NPK levels, and soil moisture, named as Farmbot has been proposed. Farmbot is designed in a way such that, it can send data to remote servers for storage and analysis, can be monitored and controlled from a remote place, can be automated to do activities, and can access almost anywhere in the farm field as it is placed above a moving wheeled bot. The Farmbot design is more focused on individual plant care and increasing productivity. A 3D render is provided as a design example of the working model and the simulation results are provided.
