Modelling of Wi-Fi Control Autonomous Weeder by Using SolidWorks

The project involves designing a Wi-Fi controlled autonomous weeder system, which can be modeled in SolidWorks by focusing on key components such as the chassis, motor mounts, weeding mechanism, and power systems. The weeder’s frame must be designed to house essential components like DC motors, the ESP32 microcontroller, and the battery, ensuring structural integrity and a 15 cm ground clearance. The motors are responsible for driving the wheels and operating the weeding mechanism, which needs to be modeled with precision to ensure efficient weed removal. The battery compartment should be sized to support a 4.5-hour operation, and a solar panel system must be integrated for recharging, improving operational time. The Wi-Fi module (ESP32) should be securely mounted to allow communication with an Android application, which sends commands to control the machine's movement. The assembly will also include necessary mounts for the microcontroller, motors, and solar panels, ensuring all parts fit and operate together smoothly. Once the components are designed, SolidWorks simulation tools can be used to check motion and test for any mechanical conflicts or performance issues, such as thermal stress or mechanical interference, before fabrication.
