This work presents a compact rover designed to support precision agriculture in tomato farming. The rover is equipped with an OV2640 camera module, a humidity sensor, and a water-level sensor. The OV2640 captures images of tomato fruits and leaves, transmitting them via Wi-Fi to a laptop for analysis. Two custom-trained YOLOv8 deep learning models are employed for visual diagnostics: one determines tomato ripeness, enabling optimal harvest timing, and the other detects common leaf diseases, including Late Blight, Leaf Mold, Leaf Miner, Mosaic Virus, Septoria, Early Blight, Spider Mites, and Yellow Leaf Curl Virus. In addition to visual inspection, the rover measures environmental parameters such as soil moisture and ambient humidity, supporting data-driven irrigation decisions and early preventive measures. Communication between the rover and the processing unit is achieved through live video streaming from the ESP32-CAM, with processed results enabling either manual teleoperation or potential future autonomous navigation. By integrating AI-based plant health assessment with environmental monitoring, the proposed system offers a economically efficient and scalable solution to improve crop quality, optimize resource usage, and enhance decision-making in tomato farming operations. 2026 IEEE.
