The Agri-Eye Smart Robotic Rover represents a significant advancement in the field of precision agriculture, specifically designed to address the labor-intensive and environmentally taxing challenges of weed management. By integrating affordable IoT hardware with automated mechanical control, this project aims to provide a localized, chemical-free solution for crop maintenance. At the core of the system is the ESP32-CAM module, which serves as the primary intelligence unit. This dual-purpose component handles real-time visual data acquisition and facilitates wireless communication, allowing the rover to stream live footage or process image data to distinguish between crops and invasive weeds. The mechanical framework is powered by a robust 12-volt battery system, ensuring sufficient current for both the high-torque locomotion motors and the specialized cutter motor used for mechanical weed eradication.
