Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), IoT-enabled sensing, and mobile platforms are increasingly used in precision agriculture, but fixed stations cannot fully capture within-field or canopy-level variability. This study developed and greenhouse-tested a low-cost modular tracked robot as a wireless environmental-sensing and telemetry research node for future crop-monitoring applications, rather than as a fully validated autonomous field robot. An open-source tracked chassis was extended with Raspberry Pi edge computing, a Cube Orange autopilot, RTK-capable GNSS, 5G/VPN/MAVLink communication, and BME280, BH1750, MLX90614, RGB camera, and LiDAR-ready sensing. The platform measured 35 × 25 × 40 cm, weighed 6.4 kg, operated from a 12 V supply, and provided about 4 h of runtime under favorable conditions. Sensor data were logged locally and could be transmitted remotely, while telemetry was visualized in QGroundControl. The environmental sensing layer was compared with a calibrated Libelium Smart Agriculture Pro station in a greenhouse using 70 synchronized samples per variable across three sessions. Because the two nodes were placed close to one another but were not strictly co-located, the comparison quantifies operational sensing differences under greenhouse microclimatic gradients rather than pure laboratory sensor error. Regression was retained only as a trend-tracking metric, while method-comparison interpretation was added using bias and Bland–Altman limits of agreement. The pressure channel showed strong trend tracking (R² = 0.992, RMSE = 0.024 hPa), whereas air temperature (R² = 0.756, RMSE = 2.537 °C) and relative humidity (R² = 0.817, RMSE = 5.024%) were suitable mainly for exploratory microclimate mapping and relative trend monitoring unless local calibration is applied. The title, claims and conclusions were therefore narrowed to greenhouse sensing-layer validation and future crop-monitoring deployment.
