Great work (despite what one of the visonless commenters said)! I can see this as a good beginning for robots that can detect, identify and remove weeds and destructive insects.

I too have built robots and never get someones attitude of "Why build a light bulb when a candle can produce light cheaper!"...

Anyone who has had to pick cherry tomatoes understands how useful this robot would be.

a hydroponic system with a timed pump and lights would be easier

great guess. whats up with your rationale today? i have a degree in computer science, can't you deduce from my comment?

You are stuck my friend! you are a boring engineer my friend! You have no imagination. And on top of it you're self conceited. Ha!

just try this out. read my previous comments and actually consider the possibility that i might know what i am talking about. if you do this correctly, you will be able to the see the truth. now, read my comments again and assume i am closed minded engineer. now, you will reject everything i say.

yes i did read all your comments. that made me think you are a mindless engineer. i don't know you, remember? how do you think I came to that conclusion? i read your comments. You seem to know (to yourself) what you're saying and namely you put everything through the prism of an engineer (optimization over new ideas). You might be successful in your own world but you fail to see the other side. You fail to appreciate the otherness.

i built robots before and would never waste 500 dollar and 20 hours to design a robot to water 4 pots of plants. you have to see the bigger picture. easiest way to solve this problem is to run plastic tubes acroos the garden and poke holes where the plants here with different sizes. this can be done in 10 minutes and saves water.

As I said I agree with you on this point. But what I am trying to say is that this Robot can be a "trainer" like thing for the plants. Which keeps check on their health, soil condition, whether they are getting proper nutrition, humidity, temperature, trim when necessary etc...

If this robot is built to ONLY sprinkler water then I think it is a utter waste of money and time.

i want you to see something. go to the last 10 seconds of the video showing a robot SUPPOSEDLY harvesting fruits. ask yourself why did they stop the video.

I know this is not the perfect model. But I was talking about the concept rather than what this model can do. It can be improved upon.
