DIY AI Solar Weeder - Part 6 Custom Image Classifier (new tflite model for Raspberry Pi)
This is a video series that builds, wires, tests and operates version 2 of an AI powered solar weeder. All files can be found at:
github.com/NathanBuildsDIY/weeder
This video shows how to retrain an image classification model for use on a Raspberry PI. There are 3 steps:
1. Obtain photos - these must be as similar to what you'll classify as possible. We take photos with the robot and divide them into 224x224 size
2. Classify Photos - this is done by hand, but we automate it as much as possible so we can get a few hundred examples of each image class in a few hours
3. Retrain an existing model using Google Media Pipe Model Maker and then quantize it so we get a model_int8.tflite model that will run quickly on Raspberry Pi.
------
My goal is cleaner, cheaper food for everyone. Small AI powered robots like this one can remove weeds without use of chemicals and save farmers the time associated with weeding. My goal with this series is to show how to build and operate this robot so that anyone can pick it up and use it or improve on it, eventually reaching the goal of an improved robot that delivers cleaner, cheaper food for all.
This robot is controlled via a web interface. I'll show how to add to the image classification model to address weeds in your yard and I hope you'll share your training sets so that the model can continually improve and address more and more common weeds.

DIY Carbonated Water - unlimited, on tap, nearly free
มุมมอง 9K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
My wife and I drink a lot of carbonated water. I got tired of buying carbonated water in 12 packs so I made a DIY chilled water carbonation system. Now we drink copious amounts of chilled carbonated tap water with berries, fruit or a splash of juice added. It has cut down on how much beer we drink and ended up saving money on our carbonated water build. Here's how it was built!
DIY Coldframe - Portable Baby Greenhouse to extend your growing season. Free!

I've been wanting more space to extend the growing season, but I don't have room or materials for a full time greenhouse. That's where a portable coldframe that can be easily broken down and stored when it's not in use comes in handy. I repurposed storm windows my neighbor was throwing away to make a cold frame from spare parts on the farm. Have a look to see how it's built!

I made my own biochar this year and did an experiment. The soil on the left was treated, the soil on the right was not - you can see the difference in these oats! Making the biochar was simple. I dug a hole 3 feet deep and 3 feet around. I added a chimeny so it would get airflow from below and the fire would burn hotter. I lit the fire and once the wood was down to coals I covered everything wi...
DIY Scythe and Sickle

I built this scythe and used it to mow oats. See, the oats were a nurse crop that I needed to cut off around 12 inches above the ground to preserve green manure crop under them. The scythe worked well! I Also built this sickle to test if I could gather shocks of oats and it performed as well. In this video I'll show you how I built all this from scraps at my farm.

How long does the battery last?
This is really cool. I'm using your work as a guide to clean solar panels with a drone. I am curious, how do you determine when to fill up the water tank? Has it ever been empty during a mission before landing on the landing pad? Thank you.
Tabs pls?
I’m French and its a bit difficult to understand evrything but it was very helpful and complet.
Thanks 🎉👍🏼
If thats 6 ft wide you must be 10 foot lol
Cool Idea and I like the setup. I found all the parts except I cannot find the Continuous sparkling water keg lid with the special float valve. Do you have a parts list and source you can share?
Hi Nathanbuild, where I could find this Cornelius keg cap for water coming in. Thanks William
Thanks a lot, mate. I really need the programming part there!
isnt a condition for this system to work, to have the tap water pressure higher than the CO2 pressure after the regulator? otherwise i dont understand how you could possible fill the keg
Yes. Your tap pressure will have to be above the regulator output pressure- and a little above that because it'll be compressing CO2 space to fill with water. You can use the Ideal Gas Law (Pv=NRT) to find the approximate values. And, if your water pressure is too low, you can buy a booster pump, may not need a booster tank at all.
Nathan, I think about this every time I mow, which I do using a walking powered reel push mower. I have been thinking, while pushing the reel, that a solar powered robot with a gallon of vinegar could inject weeds all day long. And soon, my lawn would be more grass and clover again. I would merge the aspects of your lawn mower rover for the geofence with this AI weed identifier and injector to build a prototype. Im not sure I have the background to build it though, a lot going on here, rover robot, computer, AI, programing, sprayer system, etc.
Is there a reason you used the 24v motors? Do they still work reliably on the 12v battery?
I did the same but un Audruino Uno as flight Controller and now trying to connect it to a Jetson Nano for an intelligent controlling on GPU, any suggestions? I think I choose the wrong path 😂
🌻❤️👍he’s beautiful
It's great, I've been dreaming about it since childhood, and you made it happen, thank you
Асалаумагадейкум!
Nothing short of brilliant. I learned so much in one place. Thanks!
Wouldn't we need to get a waiver from the FAA in the USA for this? Waivers for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Operations To conduct autonomous drone operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), operators must obtain a waiver from the FAA. BVLOS operations involve using autonomous capabilities and relying on sensors, cameras, and other technologies to navigate and perform tasks without direct visual observation by the operator. The FAA carefully evaluates waiver requests to ensure safety and may require additional measures, such as the implementation of detect-and-avoid systems.
Yup, I cover that around minute 40 of this drone build video: th-cam.com/video/Fflbc_y2IGQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice build man, one question What problem did you encounter using the pixhawk 2.4.8?
Thanks! pixhawk should work, but the here3 gps pinout/connector matches the cube orange. If you're ok cutting/soldering wires to swap the connector it should be fine. I think it'll even work with one of the knockoff pixhawks you can find on amazon
@@nathanbuildsdiy I am using M8N GPS, Would that work fine or do i need to get a better gps?
Awesome. Please share more details. I also dream to build my own someday
Check this video for details: th-cam.com/video/yt_4_t4DEqo/w-d-xo.html
Nice project. thank you mr.
Greeting Nathan. Thanks for this. I would rather connect a large bottle of filtered water to the kegerator - I am thinking I would need a flowjet (pump) to apply pressure to fill the kegerator. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
You could pour the filtered water directly into the keg. If you want to have a separate bottle for the filtered water you'd have to pressurize it somehow to force it in there. I think residential water pressure is actually pretty high, so a pump is probably the way to go. perhaps try a diaphragm pump from amazon and see if it can produce enough pressure to force the water in?
@@nathanbuildsdiy Agreed. Thanks again.
I really like this. I would be concerned about scaling this because of potential fires. I wonder if a similar approach of using the solar energy to heat water in a tank then administering the water to the weed wouldn't be safer?
Would you be wiling to share your training images?
This has been an excellent series Nathan. You've covered all the basics for an ag robot weeder, whether we use a different route or not. Thanks for all your efforts. I can see how a compact robot to fit between the rows would be a different approach than current agtechs are taking with elevated robots. Also, I wonder how off the shelf lasers might be simpler and efficient (although $$$) in real small farm use. Your building blocks will be very helpful to make this happen.
Some parts list would have made this video somewhat useful. Just laziness not providing list.
Nice work!
I’m not seeing how you used angle brackets at the top points of where the 2x4 (4x4) meets the wall. Could you please explain/ show this. Also, I’m guessing the angles to cut are 45 degrees?? Thanks in advance for clarifying.
Excellent work a great example of engineering and determination. i can see you've put a whole lot into this. thanks for sharing. Many years ago i imagined a fleet of purpose-built drones designed to speedup the recovery of habitats after environmental catastrophes. A drone lands, gracefully drills and plants seed in holes and can alternatively carpet bomb large areas efficiently with tree seed-balls/seed-bombs. It's equipped with similar technology: GPS coordinates guide it to target fields, where it autonomously maps the area, considering environmental factors like soil type, slope, and climate. Based on these data, it plans an optimal grid layout for planting and its base-station prepares seed ball magazines. th-cam.com/video/dWyduWsoy8o/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=catfishbones th-cam.com/video/OqYTz6-zGcg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BareMtnFarm A reforestation game-changer in areas that are difficult to access. By autonomously selecting suitable vegetation and preloading seed magazines tailored for each pass, it ensures that every planting mission is tailored to its unique environment. To restore and heal exploited, damaged, burned, or abandoned lands!
If you want to design a fire starter, I mean weeder< maybe put the heaviest parts in the center and the wheels at all 4 corners. Look at the rovers we use on other planets. Nothing heavy hanging out front, wheels way out to the peripheral. Stability is important and should be thought of first. A stable platform will let a good tool do a good job.
You make magic look easy - wow !!!
Very nice project; a little bit sad though that you're burning very usefull plants :/
Dandelion is edible, healthy. Furthermore, its strong roots pull nutrients closer to the surface, which is helpful for other plants. They also benefit bees. :)
Yes, but they are easy to train the model on, so it's probably why they were picked to verify the prototype 😁
You can make the structure more stable by placing the lens in the center of 4 wheel. And the blinder can be made like the vertical blind on curtain.
That is a good idea. That will make it much more stable and will make it easier to focus and aim. The only issue is that it will limit the where the sun can be. As it is now the sun can be rather low, but it will be hard to get a centered lens to tilt that much
awesome arson solar bot! smart little thing.. needs rocker boogie chassis like lunar mars rover suspension for all terrain drive..

oh wow. I've looked at a ton of ways to do this, and I've never come across the keg, just a bunch of expensive pumps. not much excuse not to, now
Nathan, would there be a benefit in using the Here4 instead of the Here3+
that is really awesome 😁
This is a seriously underrated channel. Very cool build!

Another great video!! - Think add to the scrip to check the sun (about every 10 mins) - Next frame add solar panel so it can charge the system and run all day long. - Still needs a way to kill weeds in a shaded area. (Laser, weed killer, mini weed eater) Keep up the great work!!
Nice Project!
