Abstract: ABSTRACT The FieldSense Multi-Crop Monitoring Rover is an autonomous, ground-based robotic platform designed to provide granular, real-time insights into agricultural health and soil dynamics. Unlike aerial drones that provide a bird's-eye view, this terrestrial rover navigates beneath the crop canopy to collect high-fidelity data at the individual plant level. Equipped with a suite of multispectral sensors, thermal cameras, and soil probes, FieldSense performs comprehensive phenotyping, detecting early-stage pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and water stress befon: symptoms become visible to the naked eye. By utilizing Edge-AI processing, the rover classifies crop health in real-time, allowing for the precise application of spot-treatments, which significantly reduces the over-reliance on broad-spectrum fertilizers and pesticides.The rover features a rugged, all-terrain drivetrain with an adjustable chassis height, making it compatible with diverse row-crop architectures such as maize, soy, and specialty vineyards. Integrated with RTK-GPS and obstacleavoidance LiDAR, FieldSense operates with centimeter-level navigation accuracy, creating a "Digital Twin" of the farm. Its loT -enabled dashboard synchronizes data to the cloud, providing farmers with predictive yield analytics and automated irrigation recommendations. Ultimately, the FieldSense Rover serves as a 24/7 digital scout, transforming traditional farming into a hyperefficient, data-driven operation that maximizes resource efficiency and ensures long-term soil sustainability.
