AgriBotNet: ROS 2-Driven Collaborative Robots for Precision Disease Management and Chili Harvesting

Agri-Bots represent a major advancement in agricultural automation, designed to handle chili harvesting and plant disease detection with precision. Leveraging technologies like OpenCV, ROS 2, and the Intel RealSense D455 Depth Camera, Agri-Bot autonomously navigates chili farms, detects ripe produce, and identifies diseases early, ensuring high crop quality and health. The robotic arm, guided by advanced inverse kinematics and powered by the MoveIt framework, performs accurate plucking and spraying actions. Communication and real-time data processing are managed by the Jetson Nano, ensuring smooth operation with minimal latency. Addressing labor shortages and enhancing farming efficiency, Agri-Bot not only reduces operational costs but also sets a new benchmark in agricultural robotics, paving the way for future innovations.
