As populations rise and the agriculture industry takes on more demand for increased crop yields, farmers find themselves strained. The insertion of robotics and autonomous technology into farming is a solution that supplements the work and exertion of the farmers. The purpose of this project is to combine maneuverable drivetrain technology, base station capability, water deployment hardware, and autonomy into an individual robot designed to navigate and irrigate crop fields while being independent and reliable on solar power.
