The detection mechanism detects obstacles while the vehicle body 1 is moving. The running mechanism, water level detection device, water spraying device, and detection mechanism are all connected to the controller 5 by signal. Under the control of the controller 5, the running mechanism and the detection mechanism cooperate to enable the vegetable watering robot to move in a specific direction and flexibly avoid obstacles while moving. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the intelligent vegetable watering robot in operation. After the vegetable watering robot is started, the water level detection device first detects the water level in the water tank 8. When the water level in the water tank 8 is below the minimum water level, the controller 5 controls the walking mechanism to drive the vehicle body 1 to the water filling point to automatically collect water.
