Planter Bot was Built as a Part of Eyantra Competion.
The idea is to build a robot which is able to traverse the field with good accuracy in path detection with the aid of vision. The robot traverses a path having different Zones growing distinct types of plants. Each Zone has an associated requirement for seedlings of a particular kind to be planted. The robot plants the seedlings as per the requirement in each Zone which is simulated using image overlay.
The challenges in this theme include: designing and building a robot with basic components given, Python programming and Image Processing. Teams get to learn image processing techniques to overlay images over a given background in real-time. The team that finishes the given task in the least amount of time whilst incurring the least penalties is declared the WINNER.
The detailed description of the task is present in the Rulebook.
