D5.3 Robots for Microfarms (ROMI) - Plant Scanner Video: Deliverable of the ROMI project
No full text(Video script)The ROMI Plant Scanner is a plant phenotyping robot that generates high quality and high precision imaging data. It allows us to analyze the shoot architecture of a medium sized plant in indoor conditions in three dimensions.The image acquisition is non-destructive, allowing life-time analysis of the same plant, or the option to reuse a plant imaged in the Plant Scanner in multiple analyses. The robot creates a phenotype of a single plant in a few minutes and can make up to a hundred in a day. Also, automated analysis pipelines have been optimized to take raw data as input and directly deliver the final analysis in a format for biologist end-users.This phenotyping is dedicated to Research & Development teams in plant science. Precision phenotyping is becoming invaluable to current questions of modern biology, seeking a quantitative understanding of the mechanisms governing plant growth and development.In relation to their sessile lifestyle, plant shoot systems generally explore the above-ground space in three dimensions. To make some shoot traits accessible to routine or exploratory phenotyping Automation is crucial. Moving the camera rather than the plant ensures that the plant can remain still - providing more precision.The Romi Plant Scanner could be used to automate the phenotyping of any trait of the shoot system of a single plant.The plant Scanner is a fixed phenotyping station. Its reasonable size can easily fit into 2 to 3 meters squared, ideally near to a facility where plants are individually cultured in moveable pots.The ROMI has developed a proof-of-concept scenario using a challenging task: measuring the in-flor-escence phyllo-taxis of the model plant Arabodopsis thaliana.The hardware design shares many components from the Romi Rover and it shares the same camera module with the Romi Cable Bot, ensuring reusability and maintainability across the full ROMI stack.The rover is available as an Open Source project. All of the source code and plans are freely available. This allows us to improve the design over time using input from farmers and engineers. That is also why we made the design modular using components that can be found “off-the-shelf” or that can be produced using 3D printers and laser cutters. People with development skills can also contribute. Our software is available online on Github. This makes the Romi Scanner a good platform to experiment with innovative tools for farming research

Video script:
The ROMI Rover is a farming tool that assists vegetable farmers in maintaining vegetable beds free of weeds. It does this by regularly hoeing the surface of the soil and thus preventing small weeds from taking root. It can do this task mostly autonomously and requires only minor changes to the organization of the farm. It is designed for vegetable beds between 70 cm and 120 cm wide and for crops up to 50 cm high. It currently handles two types of crops, lettuce and carrots. The lettuce can be planted out in any layout, most likely in a quincunx pattern.
This robot is designed for smaller market farms of less than 5 ha but the size of the farm and the amount of crop you want to cover will determine the number of rovers you will use, A weekly passage of the robot should be sufficient to keep the population of weeds under control.
The Romi Rover can help to control the pressure of weeds on crops. Too many weeds take resources such as water and sunlight away from the main crop and crop productivity will drop as a result. Because organic farming cannot use chemical herbicides, weed control is an important activity. In many cases, weeding is done manually which requires not only a lot of time but also is a demanding physical task. That’s where the Romi Rover steps in. It can alleviate this task from farmers so that they can concentrate on more rewarding activities.
The Romi Rover is positioned over a vegetable bed, it cleans the top-soil with a rotating precision hoe. The rover must be taken to the field using the remote control or by simply pushing it. The use of the rover requires relatively flat beds. To assist the rover in navigating the length of a crop bed, it is necessary to install guide rails such as tubes or wooden boards along the bed.
Once the rover is positioned along the rails at the beginning of a bed, it hoes the surface of the soil whilst moving itself the entire length of the bed.
Two weeding methods are available. First, a precision weeding method in which the top-soil is turned over in between the plants. Second, a classical weeding method in which standard weeding tools are dragged behind the rover between the rows of vegetables.
For the precision weeding method, the rover uses a camera to detect the plants that are underneath the rover. It then moves the precision weeding tool over the surface as it closely passes the detected vegetables.
Although the rover is autonomous for weeding a single bed, it is important to stay in proximity to the rover. A U-turn must also be manually performed at the end of the bed and the rover repositioned in line with the rails of the next bed.
Multiple versions of the Rover have been assembled and tested in different locations to validate and showcase the adaptability of the design for different fabrication processes and field applications.
The rover is available as an Open Source project. All of the source code and plans are freely available. This allows us to improve the design over time using input from farmers and engineers. That is also why we made the design modular using components that can be found “off-the-shelf” or that can be produced using 3D printers and laser cutters. People with development skills can also contribute. Our software is available online on Github. This makes the Romi Rover a good platform to experiment with innovative tools for farming
