Structured Ecological CULtivation with Autonomous Robots in Indoor Agriculture

A robotic system to be used in small indoor organic farming is presented in this paper. The system consists of heterogenous robot agents with specific abilities, able to execute certain tasks only when working together, namely, an unmanned aerial robots (UAV), unmanned ground robots (UGV), and a compliant multi degree of freedom dual arm manipulator. The compliant manipulator, responsible for a delicate task of plant treatment, is developed within the Soft robotics paradigm. Using the Soft robotics principles, a dexterous human like motion can be achieved through simultaneous deployment of soft robot body parts, compliant control, and tactile sensing capabilities of the manipulator. Testing the robots on the described challenging application represents an interesting research opportunity that will certainly lead to new results in the rapidly expanding field of research that soft robotics represents.
