远程操控农业机器人，让城市人轻松种菜
PlantPal: Leveraging Precision Agriculture Robots to Facilitate Remote Engagement in Urban Gardening
- 用带摄像头和工具的机器人实现远程种植
- 18人3周测试显示用户日常融入度高
- 适合没时间、没经验的城市园艺新手
城市园艺虽具健康与环境益处，但受限于空间、时间及园艺知识，市民参与困难。现有智能家居方案未能充分解决实际障碍。本文提出PlantPal系统，通过共享操作配备园艺工具和多摄像头的精密农业机器人（PAR），使用户无论身处何地、是否具备经验或时间，均可参与园艺。为期三周的部署实验（N=18）表明，PlantPal有效将园艺任务融入日常，增强用户与种植空间的连接感，并在远程环境下提供有趣体验。研究贡献了未来机器人辅助城市园艺的设计考量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Urban gardening is widely recognized for its numerous health and environmental benefits. However, the lack of suitable garden spaces, demanding daily schedules and limited gardening expertise present major roadblocks for citizens looking to engage in urban gardening. While prior research has explored smart home solutions to support urban gardeners, these approaches currently do not fully address these practical barriers. In this paper, we present PlantPal, a system that enables the cultivation of garden spaces irrespective of one's location, expertise level, or time constraints. PlantPal enables the shared operation of a precision agriculture robot (PAR) that is equipped with garden tools and a multi-camera system. Insights from a 3-week deployment (N=18) indicate that PlantPal facilitated the integration of gardening tasks into daily routines, fostered a sense of connection with one's field, and provided an engaging experience despite the remote setting. We contribute design considerations for future robot-assisted urban gardening concepts.
