Farmbot HMI
UAS Technikum Wien • Robotics & Automation
Overview
Designed specifically for the Robotics Day at FHTW, this HMI serves as a public-facing visualization tool for our Farmbot. Its primary goal is to translate raw sensor data into an engaging, readable format, allowing visitors to see real-time environmental metrics and understand how the robot interacts with its surroundings.
Interface
The HMI provides real-time telemetry and control for autonomous greenhouse management.
Technical Implementation
To provide a seamless experience at Robotics Day, the HMI utilizes a lightweight IoT architecture where various ESP microcontrollers publish environmental data to a central MQTT broker. The HMI then consumes these streams via WebSockets, providing the public with an instant, low-latency look at the data being gathered by our hardware in the field.
