Developing Robot for Monitoring Plants in a Greenhouse
The task was to fully automate the machine so that it moves on and off rails of height gradient without human assistance and scan each plant in a greenhouse as large as 500 acres. We used brushless DC Servomotors for driving the robot and hall sensor with an inbuilt gyro and accelerometer for navigation. I was responsible for the role of mechanical designer where i constantly updated the Solidworks model of the robot. Successfully modified the complex model by assembling, disassembling and reassembling it to incorporate the changes done and to also optimize and streamline the design by rearranging the internal components.
