Abstract:
Intelligent inspection vehicle was designed for use in mountain orchards and farms.Its motion control system implemented by using an Arduino UNO controller, with Mega328p chip serving as primary control center.GPS positioning module ATGM336H 5N-31 was used to obtain latitude and longitude information of inspection vehicle to determine its position, and data was transmitted back to development board, which controled motor equipped with an encoder through TB6122 module, enabling vehicle to move and steer.An ESP32-CAM module equipped with OV2640 camera was used to capture images of crops along vehicle's path in orchard.Captured images were transmitted to backend in JPEG format via a local area network WiFi connection.Real-time images captured by inspection vehicle could be viewed by corresponding IP address.Experimental results showed that inspection vehicle prototype successfully achieved expected inspection functions and was able to realize remote monitoring in orchard, facilitating staff monitoring on-site environment.
