M2.03 - Bluewater
Multi-purpose autonomous water and seed planter.
Sponsor: Dr. Bahram Asiabanpour
Student Team: Lance Simon, Fabio Perez, Christian Torres, Javier Ruiz-Irizarry, Luciano Davis, Richard Dang
Faculty Advisor: Mr. Mark Summers
The BlueWater project is optimizing the efficiency and automation of a DIY FarmBot plantar to demonstrate scalability. The original function of the DIY FarmBot was to grab individual seeds and place them in their designated location one-by-one. Our software team is generating sequences and functions that'll increase the speed of the FarmBot's planting operations and allow easier interactions between the user and the applied web app. Our hardware team has been generating new end effectors and replaceable components that allow the user to perform the various gardening actions required to remotely maintain and operate a garden. Using CAD modeling and 3D printing, we were able to pair with the actuator modification to allow the process of automated seed planting.
