MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS FOR SILKWORM EGG INCUBATION

Аннотация

INTRODUCTION Systems: Mechatronic systems used in this study Sericulture has played a significant role in various are built upon a combination of hardware and cultures, with the silkworm being a key software components. Arduino microcontrollers contributor to the production of high-quality are central to the design, along with a network of silk.[1] The success of sericulture depends on the sensors and actuators. These systems were successful incubation of silkworm eggs. configured to monitor and adjust temperature, Maintaining the ideal temperature, humidity, and humidity, and other critical environmental other environmental conditions is essential for parameters within the incubation chambers.[2] maximizing hatching rates.[3] Traditional The control algorithms were developed to incubation methods have limitations in precision maintain precise conditions during the incubation and consistency. This study explores the process. application of mechatronic systems to revolutionize silkworm egg incubation, ensuring Experimental Procedure: A series of experiments the ideal environment is consistently were conducted, comparing traditional incubation maintained.[4] methods with mechatronic-assisted systems. The environmental parameters, including METHODS temperature, humidity, and gas composition, were Design and Implementation of Mechatronic closely monitored and recorded in both cases. https://www.theamericanjournals.com/index.php/tajiir 7 THE USA JOURNALS THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF INTERDISCIPLINARY INNOVATIONS AND RESEARCH (ISSN- 2642-7478) VOLUME 06 ISSUE11 Silkworm eggs were incubated under these Hatching rates were consistently higher in the conditions, and the hatching rates and overall mechatronic-assisted group, showing an health of the hatched silkworms were assessed. improvement of 15% on average. The silkworms that hatched in these conditions exhibited
