WEEK 16. Application and Implications¶
assignment¶
Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered, answering: What will it do? Who’s done what beforehand? What will you design? What materials and components will be used? Where will come from? How much will they cost? What parts and systems will be made? What processes will be used? What questions need to be answered? How will it be evaluated? Your project should incorporate 2D and 3D design, additive and subtractive fabrication processes, electronics design and production, embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming, system integration and packaging Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable
What will it do?¶
ROBTOT CIPI will be able to analyze data from an agricultural field: soil temperature, air humidity, and then see the evolution of the crop thanks to its front camera.
Who’s done what beforehand?¶
I investigated to find out who had done what before me, and I saw this agrilab project.
What will you design?¶
I did the design:
- PCBs.
- 3D parts modeling.
What materials and components will be used?¶
Main components:
- esp 32 cam , used to control the robot and provide visual information on its environment.
- Xiao esp 32 C 3 , used to communicate with sensors.
- DTH11 sensor, used to measure air temperature and humidity.
- probe sensor, used to measure soil humidity.
- 18 V battery and 12 V regulator,

Where will come from?¶
Where the project comes from, I decided to make a robot that will be able to be useful for agriculture. Because in my country, automated irrigation systems are evolving exponentially. then such a system could help to monitor the soil after irrigation.
How much will they cost?¶
I plan to sell my robot for $200
What parts and systems will be made?¶
i made all part of my system
What processes will be used?¶
i used : -laser cutting - 3D printing - milling machine - soldering
What questions need to be answered?¶
-
how do I know if my irrigation is working properly?
-
how can I get information on every part of my crop?
embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming,¶
i used - XIAO esp C3 - node red technologie to devellope my interface interface week
