Abstract/Summary
This thesis aims to develop a coconut climbing robot that automatically climbs the coconut tree and enables the users to view the coconut fruits through a camera via live stream. The thesis would be using a power window motor which operates in 12v high torque, high current. Also, it utilizes a PIC16F877A as a microcontroller unit and relay for the motor driver. The robot would also have a water-based spray that will be used to mark the coconuts which are ready for harvest. Whereas for the climbing mechanism, the robot will have gears pushed by springs since coconut trunks vary in diameter. In this way the robot will be firmly in contact to the surface of the coconut trunk preventing it from falling down.
