The Autonomous Growing Unit

Project Description

In 2017, I set out to create a robot that autonomously takes care of plants. The main goal was to learn as much as possible in as many areas I could, including software, hardware, electronics, CAD and even editing.

The project is made up of 3 layers: The Android (High-level instructions), RaspberryPi 3 (High-level interpreter of instructions), and Arduino Mega (Low-level hardware controller).


High level overview of the whole project.


Electronics schematics designed in Eagle.


Electronics drawings designed in Fritzing.


Transition from Inventor CAD model to final build!


This project was a great success and I'm very happy that everything worked as it should! It gave me the confidence to start planning more ambitious robots, such as the Monopod robot, which I'm building right now.
