CocoaScout RTK Autonomous Soil Analysis Rover
A rugged 4WD autonomous rover designed to navigate dense cocoa plantations using RTK-GPS and LiDAR for precise soil health mapping. It features a motorized probe system that automates the collection of NPK and moisture data, syncing results via MQTT for real-time farm management.
Original prompt
Design an autonomous cocoa farm monitoring robot using Jetson Nano 4GB. The robot navigates between RTK-GPS waypoints, avoids obstacles, and collects soil data at predefined locations. At each setpoint, a linear actuator lowers a soil probe into the ground to measure moisture, temperature, pH, EC, and NPK, then retracts it before continuing. Include a rugged chassis for muddy terrain, 4WD or tracked locomotion, LiDAR, camera, ROS integration, MQTT communication, power system, electronics architecture, BOM, and CAD-ready mechanical concepts.
