Smart Multipurpose Agricultural Robot

The proposed system is a boom to farmers which combines robotics with agriculture and capable of moving around the field like a farmer and plough the field, sow the seed in the pre-determined row and irrigate the field along the rows autonomously as well as in a manual way by Bluetooth and IoT application. During the seeding process, it sows the seeds and then levels the mud after seeding. In the irrigation process, the soil sensor monitors the water condition. It checks this level and alerts the farmers, then slowly applies a small amount of water to the planted seeds in all the rows of the farming plot. The fertilization process is the same as the irrigation process but some crops need fertilizers when the seed germinates and the plant begins to grow. It also sprays pesticides to the crops. In addition to this, harvesting of crops and removal of weeds are also done using image processing techniques. When weeds or fruit is detected, a message will be sent to the mobile and then a corresponding motor will be made to run manually to remove weeds and to pluck the fruits that are ready to harvest. It monitors environmental conditions and also protects the crop from animal attack using a PIR sensor and if any animal enters into the field alarm sounds and messages will be sent to the mobile IoT. The soil and climatic conditions are continuously transmitted to the mobile using IoT so that farmers can see the conditions frequently.
