Domain / Research Objectives

Research Objectives

These objectives are derived from the RP design targets and validated experimental criteria.

Objective 1: Autonomous Greenhouse Mobility

Develop a robust path-following platform that keeps the robot aligned within crop rows and safely inside arm reach limits.

Objective 2: Dual-Purpose AI Perception

Deploy edge AI that supports both ripeness detection for harvesting and foliar pathology detection for intervention.

Objective 3: Precision Robotic Intervention

Integrate a 4-DOF manipulator with modular end-effectors for non-destructive fruit picking and localized disease spraying.

Objective 4: Network Resilience

Implement LoRa-based sensing and SDN-managed communication to preserve control integrity during link congestion and failure.

Objective 5: Sustainability and Efficiency

Reduce chemical waste and labor dependency while improving reliability and intervention timeliness in greenhouse operations.

Objective 6: Quantitative Performance Validation

Verify the system with measurable outcomes, including detection mAP values, edge inference latency, packet delivery ratio, and failover response time under simulated link faults.
