Abstract

Plowing and sowing are just a few of the many chores that take place in the agricultural field. The equipment needed to do the aforementioned tasks is expensive and difficult to use. Therefore, the Indian agricultural system should be supported by developing a system that will save time and labor. The goal is to create a robot that runs totally on solar power and is capable of seeding seeds, plowing, and spraying water. A solar panel powers the constructed robot, which is operated by an Android or
Bluetooth software to move and do other necessary functions. This boost reduces the difficulty of hand planting and boosts the effectiveness of the sowing of seeds. The objective is to design a robot that can perform operations including plowing, seed dispensing, pesticide spraying, and grass cutting. It also employs humidity sensors to track the humidity and offer manual control when needed. The crucial component is the Arduino’s AVR, which manages everything. The field is first tilled by the robot, which then ploughs and distributes seeds. The navigation device is an ultrasonic sensor that continually sends data to the Arduino. The robot operates in autonomous mode within the field and only uses human intervention when not in use. A Bluetooth connecting app may be used to manually operate the robot, which also helps with maneuvering it outside of the building.

Keywords: Grass cutting, pesticide spraying, dispensing seeds, and ploughing
