Abstract

This research paper introduces, AI-Kitchen Garden, an innovative solution for indoor vegetable and fruit cultivation targeting commercialization in the Canadian and US markets for the product. The proposed system entails a 2-foot by 5-foot box equipped with advanced AI software, transforming it into an automated, AI-controlled greenhouse. The AI software monitors and manages the growth of vegetables within the box, providing essential elements such as heat, light, water, and appropriate environmental conditions tailored to each plant's needs. The system's automation extends to harvesting, where the AI software identifies ripe vegetables and autonomously picks them, depositing them in a tray outside the box while simultaneously issuing voice and text notifications via a monitor fixed inside the home or monitoring office. Furthermore, the system's versatility allows for the cultivation of short-height fruit plants in addition to vegetables. The AI software embedded in the box continuously assesses the clay's fertility and recommends adjustments as necessary, ensuring optimal growing conditions. Additionally, the system regulates water temperature to enhance plant growth further. This innovative solution not only streamlines indoor cultivation processes but also offers a sustainable and efficient method for producing fresh food in snowcapped areas like North America. Through this research, the potential for widespread adoption and commercial success of the automated AI-controlled greenhouse system in North American markets is explored and elucidated.


Research Objective

To introduce and explore the potential for widespread adoption and commercial success of the AI-Kitchen Garden, an innovative, automated, AI-controlled greenhouse system, for vegetable and fruit cultivation targeting commercialization in the Canadian and US markets.

Discussion

The AI-Kitchen Garden represents a paradigm shift towards precision agriculture, offering a sustainable and efficient method for producing fresh food, especially in harsh climates like North America. The system's automation, including autonomous harvesting and environmental control, streamlines indoor cultivation. Commercial success hinges on navigating regulatory challenges, addressing technical software maintenance issues, and capitalizing on the growing market demand for smart farming solutions across residential, commercial, and urban farming segments.


Key Findings

The AI-Kitchen Garden system successfully integrates AI software to monitor and manage essential growth factors (heat, light, water, environmental conditions) tailored to specific plants. The system automates harvesting, identifies ripe produce, deposits it in an external tray, and issues voice/text notifications. It also monitors soil fertility and regulates water temperature. The North American agricultural technology market shows significant projected growth, indicating strong commercial potential for such innovations.


Conclusion

The AI-Kitchen Garden is a groundbreaking innovation that leverages AI integration to revolutionize farming operations by enhancing crop viability, optimizing resource utilization, and enabling data-driven decision-making. Its successful commercialization in Canadian and US markets is promising, provided that technical and regulatory challenges are proactively managed through collaboration and continued R&D.
