===== Problem =====
Indoor farming, vertical farming or city farming are different terms given to an agricultural practice that will be part of the future due to the reduced farmland, land contamination and greater quality requirements among many other reasons. The technology for indoor farming is already available from LED illumination (Red, Blue) to the computer power and low-cost vision sensors (Kinect).
===== Aim and Objectives =====
Construct an indoor system based on a open source project called FarmBot [[http://wiki.farmbot.cc/wiki/Main_Page]] and propose and end effector considering a vision system and precision farming sensor/applicator.

===== Qualification and Motivation =====
Strong interest on building things and basic knowledge in electronics and mechanics.
