Robots help travelers to take care of clean vegetables at home

Just need to connect wifi to the phone, users can take care of clean vegetable beds at home anywhere, although hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Seeing his wife struggling to grow vegetables on the terrace without efficiency, Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh (32 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) called on his new friends and groups of 9x youths to find ways to cultivate effective hydroponic vegetables in space. Small urban, based on farm models from Israel, USA. The members of the group do many industries such as agriculture, information technology, electronics, biotechnology .

"Every day facing the risk of diseases from dirty food, many families want to own a clean vegetable garden at home, but not everyone has the time and experience to take care of them," Chinh said. and said from here the team found a solution.

Greenbot - a vegetable-growing robot was born two years later. One member said that, at the beginning of the experience, it was not possible to experiment many times without success. The most difficult thing is to adjust the diet, because each type of vegetable has its own characteristics, it can be suitable for this plant but the other one wilts. Therefore, each time the tree grows unevenly, the group has to do it a hundred times to find the right substance for the tree.

Vegetable-planting robot is a smart hydroponic growing system inherited from the modern trend of Internet of Thin g technology and applied to agricultural hydroponics. Robots include planting rigs, smart barrels and App on the phone. Its operation is based on the connection between the software application and the system via Wi-Fi network.

Principle of operation of vegetable growing robots.

Planting plant consists of 63 baskets with an area of ​​about one square meter, can grow many types of vegetables. With a sensor mounted on a rig, the robot acts as the user's eyes and electronic ears. It will observe and remember all changes of the environment affecting crops such as weather, temperature, humidity, water volume, nutrient intake, plant health .

Next, it will integrate and transfer data about the brain of the tree. The brain after analysis will provide the optimal solution for treating plants, and then through electronic devices in smart containers to transfer information to the "Data Library" cloud . All information will be constantly updated to users via any smartphone anywhere.

Thanks to the pre-installed control application on the phone, users simply click on the smartphone to order the "brain" of the vegetable rig, the robot will replace that person to perform all tasks of taking care of vegetables. So growers who can travel far from anywhere can take care of the vegetables as desired.

The phone notifies the modes that the crop needs to be ordered by the user.(Photos provided by the group).

"With this device, the farmer just puts the nutrient in the smart container below, the rest of the work will be done by the robot. If the plant lacks nutrients, the robot will report it to the phone. just press the button on the phone, the robot automatically pumps and when it is enough, it automatically switches off, " Chinh said.

When the weather changes like prolonged hot sun, high humidity of the air, vegetable-growing robots still ensure that trees are always green.

Not only measurement, backyard robots also have the ability to self-study and accumulate experience through each planting cycle, ie to help the next batch of vegetables have higher productivity and quality than the previous batch. This feature is due to sensors, data collection systems of each planting phase and storage of the cloud library.

"In a year, every family only costs about a million VND to have a clean and delicious vegetable garden," the group member said and said if the market is expected to sell products for VND 15 million.
