Includes bibliographic reference and appendices.
While Wandering Around Foundation University campus, the researchers noticed some of the working students watering the grass using a sprinkle with wheels on it. The Current of the water allows the sprinkler to move while gliding on the hose that serves as its path. With This observation, the idea of the robot was conceptualized. The robot will operate in an office where people are very busy doing their tasks while plants find themselves abandoned in one corner, if there is any. Most of these people inside an office are clerks, perhaps a secretary and not a gardener by a profession. There is a possibility that the potted plants inside the offices might have not watered for long period of time, if these things continue it can lead to plants deterioration. The main object of the autonomous robot is to check the moisture of the soil of the potted plant with a sensor. The gathered data will be processed, and the robot will the determine the dryness or wetness of the soil in a time interval within office hours.
