Experimental Results and Analysis

Vision Performance

The ripeness model achieved mAP@0.5 of 0.937 with strong true positive rates for ripe and unripe classes. The multi-class foliar pathology model achieved mAP@0.5 of 0.636 across challenging disease categories.

Edge Inference and Real-Time Suitability

Dockerized deployment on Raspberry Pi 5 sustained an average inference latency of about 42ms, meeting real-time operation demands for a moving robot platform.

Network Reliability Validation

LoRa mesh operation maintained packet delivery above 98% in dense greenhouse conditions. Under simulated link failure, SDN-guided failover completed in around 165ms while preserving critical command flow.

Operational Efficiency Outcome

Spatial clustering for spray targeting reduced redundant arm movements and helped reduce chemical use by about 30%, improving sustainability and reducing intervention overhead.

Cross-Domain Validation Insight

The RP confirms that combining perception quality, actuation precision, and SDN-based continuity is more valuable than optimizing any single module in isolation. This is the main reason the platform remains functional during realistic greenhouse disturbances.

Metric Summary

Key validated values include 0.937 ripeness mAP@0.5, 0.636 disease mAP@0.5, ~42ms edge inference, >98% LoRa packet delivery, and ~165ms SDN failover.

Practical Interpretation

These measurements indicate the platform can preserve intervention quality under constrained rural connectivity while reducing unnecessary spray actions.
