Hi, I have served for many orchards. Also thinking about farming robot for a while. Glad to know about this project.
I fly drone to help farmer manage their orchards every week.
I don’t know coding or engineering. But I know the farmer needs.
Also I was leading to design a company information system.
I am hoping I can help this project in some way.
Regarding communication of data from farm field robots, seems to me the most practical method would be for each robot to collect their own particular data, with a retriever such as ground or air drone that would go to each robot periodically (day/week/month, gather the data, clear the data of the robot in the field and return to farm station for download as a data shuttle. Eliminates need for huge memory in specialized robots or the need for extensive wireless power. Also add that I look forward to seeing more videos of your projects.
I have a subscription to FarmOS. Very reasonable price for the service. I am trying to set up a server for OpenSimulator.org and If I get that to work may set up a server for FarmOS. I am a newbie at both but there is youtube.
My idea is the following.Check out the old and time-tested solution from radio amateurs - the APRS protocol. It is possible to organize the transmission and collection of any telemetry at a speed of 1200 bod via VHF radio stations - simple trackers, weather stations and stationary or mobile digipiters. How to become a radio amateur - all the information is on the website arrl.org
With respect to you and your project, Ivan (my amateur radio call sign R1CCX), 73!
