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.
