Early stress detection in crops is a necessity today to improve efficiency and reduce waste of time, money, and effort. However, most modern techniques, such as hyperspectral imaging and AI-based systems, are too costly and complex for medium and small-scale farmers to implement. This paper showcases CropSentry, a low-cost, ground-based multi-robot system that uses multimodal leaf sensing to continuously monitor crop health by tracking stress levels. The system comprises two autonomous bots that continuously detect leaf color and environmental data row by row. The observations are spatially mapped and sent over to the master bot, which uses color-coded row segments to generate a real-time web-based dashboard displaying crop health. After 63 observations were collected during the experiments, the results showed an overall crop health classification accuracy of 84.12%, with 82.60% for healthy plants, 88% for nutrient-deficient plants, and 80% for diseased plants. Also, 100% wireless communication success rate across 10 slave observations was achieved. Close-range leaf inspection across multiple bots can detect early stress in crops while remaining affordable, accessible, and scalable. It provides farmers with timely information to improve resource utilization and crop management.
