SILKBOT : Orchestrating Silk Symphony - A Comprehensive Approach towards Silk Production and Enhancement in Sericulture Applications

Abstract

In this paper, the orchestrating of the silk symphony - a comprehensive approach towards silk production and enhancement in sericulture applications is presented. The final year project work undertaken by us involves the design & development of a silkbot, which will give us the comprehensive approach towards Silk Production and Enhancement in the quality of silk produced. The aim of the project is to revolutionize silk production through a comprehensive approach encompassing four critical components that are Segregation of cocoon based on gender, Identification of diseased cocoons to curb disease spread and enhance yield, maintenance of ideal temperature conditions for the enhanced growth of cocoons and Maintenance of optimal feeding conditions tailored to cocoon growth and needs. Cocoon Segregation System - Focuses on the segregation of cocoons based on their genders which will be ensuring optimal silk production and controlled environment for the female cocoon who produce more raw silk than male and prevent Disease Spread. Diseased Cocoon Identification - Aims to implement an automated system for the identification of diseased cocoons, mitigating the spread of diseases that can significantly impact yield and harvest rates. Temperature Control System - Emphasizes the maintenance of ideal temperature conditions for the enhanced growth of Silkworms, optimizing the quality and quantity of silk production. Optimized Feeding System -Tailored feeding based on the growth stages and nutritional needs of the Silkworms for optimal silk production. The work carried out is the seventh semester main-project by the students of Electronics & Communication Engineering under the guidance of the faculties supervision (guide).
