The robots, its inside components and features Robot #1: The digger Servomotors, gearmotors, 9v battery, Arduino Uno, Ultrasonic sensor, lightbulb, breadboard Gearmotors will be used for movement, using a gearmotor and caterpillar wheels on its sides powered by the 9v battery. The servomotors could be 4, 2 on the elbows of the robots, and 2 on the hands, which could both hold a scoop on its end that will be maneuverable using the servomotors to indicate the angle of the scoop and pick the dirt up. The 9v battery will energize the entire robot to have more power than just using Arduino. Ultrasonic sensors will be used to locate the stick on the soil where the human desires to plant. The light bulb could be used to light up once the whole process of the robot, so that the robot next to it, having a photoresistor, could start working its process once x lumens are detected from the lightbulb of the previous robot Input:  Ultrasonic sensor to detect the stick in the soil Output:  Gearmotors for movement  Servomotors for upper part maneuvering  Lightbulb to send lumens to other robots’ photoresistors Robot #2: The Seeder Servomotors, gearmotors, 9v Battery, Arduino Uno, Ultrasonic sensor, lightbulb, photoresistor, breadboard Gearmotors will be used for movement, using a gearmotor and caterpillar wheels on its sides powered by the 9v battery. The servomotors could be 4, 2 on the elbows of the robots, and 2 on the hands, which could both hold a claw on its end that will be maneuverable using the servomotors to indicate the angle of the scoop and pick the seeds up. This robot will have a little slide so the seeds are placed in it and then guided to the hole in the soil. The 9v battery will energize the entire robot to have more power than just using Arduino. Ultrasonic sensors will be used to locate the stick on the soil where the human desires to plant. The light bulb could be used to light up once the whole process of the robot, so that the robot next to it, having a photoresistor,

could start working its process once x lumens are detected from the lightbulb of the previous robot This robot could also have a container inside to hold the seeds, including a removable lid in order for the human to refill it with their desired seeds. Input:  Ultrasonic sensor to detect the stick in the soil Output:  Gearmotors for movement  Servomotors for upper part maneuvering  Lightbulb to send lumens to other robots’ photoresistors Robot #3: The waterer Servomotor, gearmotors, 9v Battery, Arduino Uno, Ultrasonic sensor, lightbulb, photoresistor, breadboard Gearmotors will be used for movement, using a gearmotor and caterpillar wheels on its sides powered by the 9v battery. This robot, instead of having 4 servomotors, will just have 1. Inside the robot there will be a storage for water needed for the planting process. That storage will have a hole in it, and the servomotor, on one of its large ends, will have attached a lid that will be aligned with that hole, preventing the water from getting out when the container is full, and allowing a single command to move the lid away so water flows. It will also have a little slide in front of the hole to guide the water out of the robot’s surroundings and prevent a short circuit. The 9v battery will energize the entire robot to have more power than just using Arduino. Ultrasonic sensors will be used to locate the stick on the soil where the human desires to plant. The light bulb could be used to light up once the whole process of the robot, so that the robot next to it, having a photoresistor, could start working its process once x lumens are detected from the lightbulb of the previous robot Input:  Ultrasonic sensor to detect the stick in the soil Output:  Gearmotors for movement  Servomotors for upper part maneuvering  Lightbulb to send lumens to other robots’ photoresistors

Robot #4: The finisher Servomotor, Gearmotor, 9v battery, Arduino Uno, Ultrasonic sensor, photoresistor, breadboard Gearmotors will be used for movement, using a gearmotor and caterpillar wheels on its sides powered by the 9v battery. The servomotors could be 4, 2 on the elbows of the robots, and 2 on the hands, which could both hold a scoop on its end that will be maneuverable using the servomotors to indicate the angle of the scoop and pick the dirt up. This robot will have an external container filled with humid fertilizer, which will be used at the end of the planting process. The scoop will take x scoops of this and place it on the open hole in the soil, and once the x number of scoops is in the soil, the same robot will tap on the soil with the same scoop to compact the soil. The 9v battery will energize the entire robot to have more power than just using Arduino. Ultrasonic sensors will be used to locate the stick on the soil where the human desires to plant. The light bulb could be used to light up once the whole process of the robot, so that the robot next to it, having a photoresistor, could start working its process once x lumens are detected from the lightbulb of the previous robot Input:  Ultrasonic sensor to detect the stick in the soil Output:  Gearmotors for movement  Servomotors for upper part maneuvering  Lightbulb to send lumens to other robots’ photoresistors. At the beginning, the human will keep the garden clear and put the stick in the desired area of planting, having the robots positioned so that the stick is in the ultrasonic sensor range. Each robot will be at the 4 corners of the garden to ensure enough space of tasking. Once the stick is on its place, the robots will drive a straight line to it until they are at 1.5 inches away with the gearmotors as the wheels. Once they are 1.5 inches away from the desired area of planting, the stick will need to be removed, which will activate the Digger (robot #1) to start working. Using servomotors, the digger will take away 4 to 6 scoops of dirt from the soil, and once this process is finished, it will have a delay of 10 seconds, and then light up the lightbulb for about 10 seconds. Once this time has passed, the robot will drive backwards using the information taken from the Arduino the same distance it drove earlier, leaving the robot it the same place it started at. The light emitted from this robot when it was on its place will exceed 300 lumens, which will activate the Seeder (Robot#2) using a photoresistor. Then, the seeder will use its claws to grab an approximate of 2-4 seeds from its storage using servomotors, and then put them on the hole in the soil using a 1-inch aluminum slide on its exterior. Once this process is finished, it will light

up the lightbulb on its side for about 10 seconds, and then return to its initial place exactly like Robot #1. The light emitted from the Seeder (Robot #2) will activate the Waterer (Robot #3) using a photoresistor. Once activated, the waterer will turn its lid connected to a servomotor 90 degrees to release the water through the slide directly into the hole with the seed and have an estimated delay to release all the water using a mathematical calculation. Once this process is finished, it will light up its side lightbulb to activate the last robot, the Finisher (Robot #4), and then return to its place exactly like the above-mentioned robots (Robots #1,2 and 3). The finisher will put its scoop inside a storage on its exterior to pick up from 5 to 7 scoops of humid fertilizer and then place it on the soil to cover the hole of the planted seed. Once the fertilizer is in its place, the same scoop will tap on the soil 3-5 times to compact the soil. Once the task is completed, the robot will return to its initial position and the planting process for one plant will be finished. Step 1: Human will put stick in the soil Step 2: Robots will drive straight to the stick Step 3: Digger robot (robot #1) will start digging a hole in the soil Step 4: Digger (robot #1) will activate a lightbulb, giving the signal to the Seeder (Robot #2) to start its task Step 5: Digger (robot #1) will return to its initial place Step 6: Seeder (robot #2) will place a determined amount of seeds into the hole Step 7: Sedder (robot #2) will activate a lightbulb, giving the signal to the Waterer (Robot #3) to start its task Step 8: Seeder (robot #2) will return to its initial place Step 9: Waterer (robot #3) will release a determined amount of water into the hole Step 10: Waterer (robot #3) will activate a lightbulb, giving the signal to the Finisher (Robot #4) to start its task Step 11: Waterer (robot #3) will return to its initial place Step 12: Finisher (robot #4) will start scooping humid fertilizer out of its container and place it on the hole in the soil Step 13: Once this process is finished, the Finisher (robot #4) will then tap on the soil to compact dirt Step 14: Finisher (robot #4) will return to its initial place Step 15: Planting is finished
