A robotic system for detecting irregularities in greenhouse lighting

Lighting in greenhouses has a direct impact on plant growth and development. Through lighting, plants are given all the properties they need to grow to their full potential. The main purpose of artificial lighting is to recreate the properties of natural light. The aim of this work is to analyse the implementation of a robotic system that will be able to detect different types of faults and send information to the dispatcher for subsequent elimination of these faults. Objectives of the work: to review the necessary equipment to carry out the inspection of the robotic system, to build the algorithm of the work. The robotic system has the following diagnostic equipment to detect lighting faults: video camera, luxmeter, thermal imager. The principle of operation is by programming the ideal state of the luminaire. The work presents an algorithm for the robotic system, as well as a possible route of travel through the greenhouse. The result of the work is a confirmation of the use of the robotic system as a way of detecting lighting faults in the greenhouse.
