Implementation of a Cartesian Robot XYZ for the Control of Agricultural Parameters in Seed Germination

Abstract:

The development of this research is based on the implementation of the Cartesian Robotic System for a controlled environment or by its acronym SRCAC, which due to its movements in the three XYZ axes, is used for the collection of information on different agricultural parameters that are necessary in the germination of the seeds, for which it was necessary to place in the mechanical structure a humidity and ambient temperature sensor, a luminosity sensor, a soil humidity sensor, sensors to detect movement limits, a thermal matrix sensor and an HQ camera of 12.3MPx, it also has actuators such as irrigation motors and stepper motors that allow the movement of the SRCAC system in the X Y and Z axes. The movement of the robot is necessary for the placement of a camera that will move in the XY axis for taking samples that can be analyzed in the future with artificial vision or also to place a thermal camera in any of the three hotbeds while flush with the Z axis, it is used for camera calibration and sampling with greater accuracy.
