| Sumario: | This article presents "Harvesting Robo-Vec" an IoT-based autonomous harvesting robot designed to enhance agricultural efficiency and precision. Integrating IoT technology with traditional methods, the robot automates tasks and offers real-time monitoring and control. It navigates crop fields autonomously, detects ripe produce using advanced sensing and imaging technologies, and performs precise harvesting maneuvers. Harvesting Robo-Vec features an IoT communication module for seamless connectivity with a centralized control system, enabling remote management of multiple robots. The paper outlines the robot's architecture, including its mechanical structure, sensors, control algorithms, and communication infrastructure, along with safety, power management, and robustness considerations. Iterative design, prototyping, and testing refined the robot's performance. Experimental results show that Harvesting Robo-Vec improves efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enhances productivity compared to manual methods. This study underscores the potential of IoT-based robots in agriculture, contributing to precision farming and autonomous robotics research. |
