Hi vertical farmers,
In the previous post we presented the first experiments with our vision system. In this post we will review our progress.
At the beginning we proposed to do a modular automated hydroponic system with all year production supported on artificial LED lighting, based on renewable power sources and with an artificial intelligence system based on vision.
It was ambitious and the time was scarce. But, besides we still have things to do, a lot of things are already implemented and waiting to be the new home of our fresh lettuces.
Let's see what we've already done and posted:

We will provide a link to a Git repository with our source code soon.
So, it’s time to grow sharp!
Thanks for following and keep connected!
