Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A mobile robot has been developed to monitor the state of the atmosphere and phyto-condition in protected ground facilities to form control strategies that maximize production profits. The free and open ROS (Robot Operating System) software shell was used as a basis for building a mobile robot information system. The paper considers a non-contact method of assessing the condition of plants (formation of the number of flowers in the inflorescence, the number of fruits per branch, average weight and ripeness of the fruit, fruit weight gain) using wavelet analysis, during which each image obtained with a video camera located on a mobile robot, decomposes into wave functions. The training on the accumulation of experience of trial and error of the route by the robot was conducted and it was determined that with the accumulation of experience the number of unsuccessful attempts and time of the route decreases, while the number of received incentives increases.
