Abstract

Agriculture is a critical sector that requires continuous innovation to meet the increasing global demand for food. Traditional seed planting methods often involve labor-intensive processes that are time-consuming and prone to inefficiencies. This project presents an automatic seed planting machine that integrates ESP32 microcontroller technology with various sensors and actuators to enhance the precision, speed, and efficiency of seed planting. The system is designed to automate seed dispensing, soil digging, and movement using a combination of line tracking, obstacle avoidance, and depth control mechanisms. Key components include a seed dispensing unit, stepper motors for soil preparation, and a DC motor-driven robotic platform. The machine ensures optimal seed placement, reduces labor dependency, and improves crop yield. Field trials demonstrate significant improvements in planting accuracy and efficiency compared to manual methods. The proposed system contributes to the advancement of precision agriculture, offering an affordable and scalable solution for modern farming.

Keywords: Seed planting robot, real-time mapping, precision agriculture, autonomous navigation, smart farming
