Smart Robotic Rover for Urban Gardening

Abstract

Urban gardening is important for sustainable city living, but it faces challenges, especially in managing resources and plant care. The “Smart Robotic Rover for Urban Gardening” project aims to solve these issues by developing a robotic system that makes gardening easier and more efficient. This rover automates four key tasks: fertilization, irrigation, cleaning, and seeding, helping to save resources and improve plant health.

To achieve this, the rover uses modern technology and automation. It has camera sensors for fertilization and irrigation, which detect plants and apply the right amount of water and fertilizer as needed. This reduces waste and ensures plants get proper care. The cleaning system helps maintain plant health, while the seeding function accurately places seeds in the best spots for growth.  Tests show that this robotic rover reduces water and fertilizer use by up to 30 percent compared to traditional methods. Its automated cleaning function also helps create a better gardening environment. This project is a big step forward in urban gardening, showing how robotics can make city farming smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.
