Abstract
The global population is projected to grow from around 7.3 billion (in 2017) to nearly 9.8 billion in 2050. In low-income countries, the population can double to 1.4 billion. Therefore, a 50 percent increase in food and other agricultural production will be needed from 2012 to the middle of the century. This increase has implications for agriculture and the food system to adapt significantly to becoming more productive and diversifying while overcoming climate change and unpredictable natural disasters. Therefore, the development of integrated agricultural technology has become one of the main research focuses on Indonesia. With integrated agricultural technology, agricultural productivity can also be increased even in limited land. Based on this, in this study a wireless mobile-robot manipulator control system was developed which is designed to support a smart-greenhouse system using Raspberry Pi. Mobile-robot is equipped with 4 DOF manipulator arms which can be used to carry out several treatments on plants. This research stage begins with the design and planning of a system on a mobile-robot manipulator. Furthermore, modeling and system integration is performed so that the mobile-robot manipulator can be controlled wirelessly based on motion recording using sensors. In the final stage, the robot manipulator performance testing is carried out which has been implemented in an online mobile-robot manipulator control system.
