GroBot

Introduction

The GroBot is an educational plant growing robot developed by Ulnooweg Education Centre with support from the Canadian Space Agency. It is intended to be an educational, automated, and open-sourced plant growing enclosure that would teach students plant ecology and plant growing whilst allowing them to assemble the GroBot using low-cost and easily sourced parts.

The GroBot has the following capability:

1. Fully automated plant growing with automated light control, irrigation, and temperature/humidity normalization.
2. Easy to use with fully replacable user code with no terminal access required. Automatic data and picture recording for later processing.
