Seedbot

Basics

• A CNC (Most Likely Universal Axis) Agricultural Robot
• Used for starting plants more than final production, unlike a Farmbot, oer similar device

User:Marcin's Proposed Format

• Autonomous planting robot for 100-plant deepots using the Unversal Axis motion system
• Plants and waters
• Whole pots are then planted in towers
• 20 seed trays, scalable to more as needed
• Online video camera love njed for remote engagement

User:Eric 's Proposed Format

Growth "Trays"

• Start at 10*10
• Can be Scaled Up
• Can Be Stacked or Used Standalone
• Have a 10*1*11 Aspect Ratio (X*Y*
• The 10*11 Rectangle (as opposed to a 10*10 square) is designed to allow the addition of a conveyor module
• Can be scaled from petri dishes (for cutting propogation) to large pots

Light Module

• Stacks the Growth Trays
• Also Provides Light For Them via Grow Liqhts (Most Likely LED Strips to Save Space + Energy)
• Sides allow for attachment of robotic arm modules
• Scalable via height

Robotic Arm Module

• 2 Per Stack
• Used only for stacks
• Not required for small stacks; you can just lift the lid off for those
• 1 places petri dishes/pots on the conveyor module, the other takes them off and:
  • Packages them for storage
  • Places them on a transport conveyor

or

• • Places them in a Grow Tower etc
• Scalable from desktop to industrial
• May also use a liftable platform for addittional stack height without needing more robotic arms

Controller Module

• Controls Power
• Controls Water + Fertilliser etc
• Controls Data Collection (Sensors + Webcams) (Not required entirely; scalable to needs+wants)
• Controls Growth + Harvest Timing
