Android-based gardening robot with fuzzy variable set model

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to build android-based gardening robot that can be controlled by Android-based smartphone via long distance. Moreover, the robot can be used to check humidity of the soil and sending the information to a cloud server. The information from the server will be used in the fuzzy algorithm to determine plan of the planting for the user. In the present study, two Android based smartphone are required. One smartphone was attached to the robot and acted as a robot's eyes and brain. Another was held by the user to monitor a video content sending from the robot's eyes. The user can control a movement of the robot by sliding fingers on a touch screen or tilting the smartphone. If he sees weeds along the way, he can send the command to the robot to immediately cut it. Furthermore, the user also can ask the robot to measure a soil humidity and view the result online in real-time.
