SARAL-Bot: Autonomous Robot for Strawberry Plant Care
Strawberry farming demands intensive labor for monitoring and maintaining plant health. To address this, Team SARAL develops an autonomous robot for the 2024 ASABE Student Robotics Challenge, capable of navigation, unhealthy leaf detection, and removal. The system addresses labor shortages, reduces costs, and supports sustainable farming through vision-based plant assessment. This work demonstrates the potential of robotics to modernize strawberry cultivation and enable scalable, intelligent agricultural solutions.
