Sumario: This project is about a robot that irrigates crops while it is mobilized with solar energy, which will be stored in batteries, so that when the weather does not favor it, it has energy to continue working. In addition, it will have the ability to detect if there are people on the plots, stop or change the route so that accidents can be avoided. The system is also capable of detecting the temperature when the irrigation process starts. It has been decided to implement solar energy, since the machines use oil that, when burned, generates large amounts of waste that is harmful to the environment. This results in climate change. Solar energy does not pollute and it is free, that is why we have to take advantage of this renewable energy source to capture and store it. Here the photons are transformed into electrical energy that we use to give life to our environment and thus we will not cause irreparable damage to our environment.
