Describe your project or startup in a few words

Agrobot est un véhicule autonome permettant de faire du désherbage mais aussi de surveiller l'état des plantations.

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

Le projet Agrobot est vise à réaliser un robot autonome capable de réaliser diverses taches telles que le desherbage, l'épandage d'engrais ou de pesticides. Equipé de caméras et d'autres capteurs(PH mètre, humidité etc...), il pourra identifier à l'aide d'algorithme l'état des plantations, analyser les conditions au sol, detecter les mauvaises herbes et optimiser l'utilisation des ressources.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Le but principal du projet est l'optimisation du rendement agricole et cela passe par la résolution de plusieurs problèmes ; - Tout d'abord réduire la dépendance à la main d'œuvre manuelle en automatisant les taches et en les effectuant de manière répétitives - Réduire l'inefficacité dans l'utilisation de l'eau, les engrais et les pesticides en optimisant les quantités selon les états des plantations
