We are a group of engineers creating an autonomous roaming robot with the purpose of reforestation. Our team is divided into three sub teams: Mechanical, Electrical, and Software.
Problem Statement
Many reforestation projects are faced with the issue of planting seeds in a wild area that is not suitable for traditional farming equipment. Because of this, seed planting must be done by hand, which is expensive, and labor intensive. With new technology, the human cost of seed planting in the wild can be reduced or potentially eliminated.
Project Statement
The landscape of reforestation efforts today is quite inefficient in the sense that the standard way of restoring high priority areas, such as the Amazon rain forests, requires a significant amount of manpower and money to achieve acceptable results.
