Smart Argiculture

This research project proposes an extended version of the FarmBot robot system with harvesting tool, which is based on continuum manipulator TakoBot. FarmBot can take care only certain period of time, from seeding until to harvesting, since harvesting process the tool mount system of the robot will be replaced to harvest crops, in this case, robot assumes to collect tomatoes. The project is implementing by Robotics and Data Science Group.

The agriculture industry plays an important role in the needs of humankind. The rising of the world population, as well as the decrease in the number of workers in the agricultural sector, calls for an increased demand for food suppliers. In this project, group led by Dr.Azamat Yeshmukhametov proposes a novel agricultural robot based on CNC machine namely FaRo (FArming RObot), for farming crops autonomously without any human intervention. What differentiates the FaRo from other farming platforms is the ability to carrying out the farming process from seeding to the harvesting of crops. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUVXOUCYKbk
