The daily maintenance and attention to detail that gardening requires makes it hard for some to reap the benefits of growing flowers, fruits or vegetables at home -- which is why GardenSpace, a garden robot that waters, monitors and protects one's plants, is such a helpful tool for those without green thumbs.
The individual can inform the bot of what plants inhabit the garden through a companion app, which connects via one's home WiFi. The app makes a watering schedule based on local weather conditions, ensuring a plant is never over or under watered. The device also features an integrated camera and a thermal sensor, to determine if the plants need more care.
In addition, the cameras and sensors will spray a harmless stream of water if it detects rodents or small animals that are snooping around the garden.
