Abstract
In a modern and future-oriented context, horticulture integrates advanced technologies, sustainable practices, and innovative methods to maximize crop yield and quality.
The use of cutting-edge technologies by the FarmBot, such as smart irrigation systems, direct delivery of nutrients to plant roots, or early detection of specific diseases and pests, along with advanced research through the utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance the efficiency and resilience of agricultural technologies, addresses global challenges such as food security, climate change, and sustainability.
The Agricultural Robot designed and implemented in this research for activities such as automated harvesting and intelligent crop management essentially represents a friendly learning environment where programming code is used to control its movements in the field.
At the same time, creating and implementing simple algorithms using function calls that require string arguments to control an agricultural robot allows for the practice of computational thinking through various examples.
