1.5) Automatic laboratory plants watering and experimenting system

Interactive 3D Model

Dual-Nozzle Assembly: Features a specialized end-effector fed by two independent, isolated pumping lines to prevent cross-contamination during delivery.
Differential Hydration Baseline: The primary line is dedicated to a constant water reservoir, ensuring a consistent hydration baseline across all 12 experimental plots.
Multi-Reagent Manifold: The secondary line integrates with an automated switching manifold, allowing the system to toggle between various chemical reagents, nutrients, or experimental solutions.
“Cocktail” Synthesis: This architecture enables the simultaneous application of different substances, allowing for complex nutrient studies and real-time “cocktail” experiments.

XYZ Precision Architecture: Utilizes a rigid CNC-style gantry system for highly repeatable positioning across the three-dimensional workspace.
High-Throughput Matrix: Engineered with a 12-pot capacity ($3 \times 4$ grid), allowing for simultaneous testing of multiple variables and control groups within a compact footprint.
Spatial Accuracy: Features micro-stepping control to ensure the watering nozzle and sensor suite are perfectly centered over each individual growth cell, eliminating liquid waste and data “noise.”
Modular Workspace: The frame is designed to accommodate various pot sizes or alternative layouts, providing a flexible platform for different stages of plant development.
