wrkFarm Sensor Swarm: Multi-Sensor Mote for Farm Data Calibration

Company: wrkFarm

Major(s):
Primary: CMPEN
Secondary: EE

Non-Disclosure Agreement: YES

Intellectual Property: YES

wrkFarm operates an AI-driven satellite platform that monitors crop health from space. To achieve sub-meter accuracy, these satellite models require real-time ground truth to account for atmospheric interference. This project challenges an Electrical and Computer Engineering team to design and build a multi-sensor mote: a solar-powered IoT node capable of sensing Soil NPK, pH, Salinity, and Leaf Health. These motes will not just collect data; they will serve as calibration points. By cross-referencing specific ground readings with our existing satellite imagery, the system will extrapolate accurate data for the entire farm using only a few of these motes. The team will focus on PCB design, sensor integration, and LoRa connectivity to link these motes to our central system
