REFORESTER

2019-2020




AIM

The aim is to design, manufacture, and simulate a tree plantation robot. The robot will be capable of performing the entire tree plantation procedure, which was done manually before.


OBJECTIVE

With the advancement in our population and urbanization, deforestation has now become one of the trending global problems. An approach to innovation is required to solve this problem. The objective of this project is to design and prototype a TREE PLANTING ROBOT that can traverse around an area of forest, dig soil, plant a tree, cover it with soil again and repeat the procedure by the auto-load mechanism. Deforestation is emerging as a threat to this planet. Performing tree plantation on macro-scale manually is a quite tedious and difficult job, so using a remotely operated robot to plant trees can help us. This project is such an attempt for a change from ‘Deforestation to Reforestation’.
