Overview #
Designed and built an autonomous weeding robot for the e-Yantra Robotics Competition (EYRC) 2022 organized by IIT Bombay. The robot navigates an agricultural arena, identifies weeds versus crops using computer vision, and performs targeted weeding operations autonomously.
Key Features #
- Weed Detection — Vision-based classification to distinguish weeds from crops in the arena
- Precision Weeding — Targeted mechanical actuation to remove weeds without damaging surrounding crops
- Autonomous Navigation — Path planning through crop rows with obstacle avoidance
- Mechanical Design — Custom-designed chassis and weeding mechanism optimized for the competition arena, recognized with the Best Mech Award
Achievements #
- 5th Position among 400+ teams nationwide
- Best Mechanical Design Award
