Low-Cost Cotton Picking Robot

Offer description

I need a complete, low-cost prototype of an AI-powered cotton-harvesting robot for a final-year project demo. The unit must detect ripe bolls with YOLOv8 running in Python/OpenCV, plot a path toward each target, and trigger a vacuum-based suction module that gently removes and stores the cotton. An ESP32-CAM provides onboard vision; motor drivers and sensors handle locomotion and arm movement. FastAPI can expose status and control endpoints so the demo laptop or phone can monitor performance in real time. The showcase hinges on two points: 1) the system’s observable functionality in a small, controlled test bed and 2) its ability to keep working reliably under repeat runs—our “working condition” highlight. While the final deployment might be in open fields or green...
