How It Works
Project Overview
Our Plant Growth Optimizer uses artificial intelligence to revolutionize plant cultivation. By leveraging a neural network and custom-built hardware, we optimize growth conditions and resource usage in real-time.
Key Components:
- Edge Detection for Seed Positioning
- Neural Network for Water Optimization
- Custom Data Collector PCB
- Real-time Growth Monitoring
Our neural network predicts optimal water amounts based on environmental parameters:
