Abstract

Modern agriculture is in great demand among modern farmers, especially in urban areas due to a large number of land conversions. Hydroponics is a popular farm because it does not require large land, minimal maintenance because it does not require regular fertilization, but produces a maximum harvest. Increasing yields requires a more efficient harvesting process, with robotic technology allowing us to make interactive harvest baskets, by making Human Following Robot. The robot is built using Arduino UNO microcontroller, there are 4 sensors to support the robot process to run well-ultrasonic sensors are used to detect obstacles so that the robot runs forward with a distance of > 40 and a distance of < 20. IR sensor is used for the process of detecting obstacles so that the robot can turn right and right, data from the sensor is sent to the microcontroller to be processed by the motor driver so that the robot's wheels can move according to the sensor data. To make it easier to find out how much the harvest weighs using a loadcell sensor and the HX711 sensor module changes from resistance to weight, sensor data will be sent to the microcontroller for processing to the 16x2 LCD to display the results of the weighing process.
