Inchworm Climbing Tree Robot with Plant Health Indication

Abstract

his paper proposes a global path and motion planning algorithm that enables inchworm like robots to navigate their way up tree branches. The intuitive climbing space representation method proposed here greatly simplifies the path-planning problem. We wish for robots to manipulate objects and move flexibly in threedimensional spaces. We describe a robot that can move on a web of surfaces oriented around arbitrary directions in three-space and a set of control algorithms that implements motion in three-dimensions. This robot is an inchwormlike robot with a simple, modular, and flexible design. And autonomous intelligent farming robot which indicates the plant health by observing the colour of their leaves and based on the height of the plant. The robot also notes the surrounding environmental conditions of the plant like temperature, moisture and humidity so that the robot will decide about health of plant and will display on the LCD. The robot has also watering mechanism it will water the plants according to their needs by observing soil moisture and humidity.
