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 Scythe and Sickle

    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

    • @Originalsunrunner20
      @Originalsunrunner20 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

    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.

    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 !

    • @nathanbuildsdiy
      @nathanbuildsdiy 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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?

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.

    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.
