This video shows the results obtained during a class concerned with building an autonomous gardening system taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during winter 2008.

Students implemented path-planning, inverse kinematics, object recognition, and visual servoing algorithms on six modified iRobot Create platform that were networked with each other and Linux routers installed on the plants.

The routers monitor the plant's humidity and store information about fruit location generated by the robots. In case the plant needs service, e.g. watering, or has a fruit ready to be picked, the router offers this task to the robots that bid for it using a market-based algorithm.
