Abstract
This study presents the design and implementation of an autonomous robot for the care and maintenance of urban gardens, focusing on the automation of essential tasks such as sowing, irrigation, and plant monitoring. The system integrates mechanical, electronic, and control components to achieve efficient and precise operation adapted to horticultural environments. Equipped with sensors, the robot collects real-time data to dynamically adjust its actions, thereby optimizing plant growth and overall system performance. Its Cartesian-based mechanical structure allows accurate movement throughout the work area, while a graphical user interface enables real-time monitoring and remote control of both the crops and the robotic system. Experimental results confirm the robot’s ability to perform multiple automated tasks effectively, validating the functionality and reliability of the prototype. The proposed approach contributes to the development of sustainable urban agriculture and the promotion of green spaces through the application of open-source technologies and automation.
