TarRob – Agricultural Robot for the Indoor Polyculture Garden

The utilization of robotics in agriculture stands as a prominent topic within engineering research. The goal of this project is to investigate the use of robotics, machine vision and learning in agricultural applications.

For starters, we have created an indoor robotic farming setting – motivated by the RoboFarm project. 

Currently, there are two ongoing projects within this setting:

·         Plant growth monitoring:  The knowledge gained from this monitoring will serve as feedback for continuous improvement.

·         Navigation on farm terrain: This will enable the robot to devise an automated plant monitor and care strategy.
