Abstract
The developments of a multifunctional Agricultural Robot which will be capable of automating critical operations in agriculture including tilling, sowing seeds and irrigation of the farmland will be covered through this research paper. At the heart of the system is a microcontroller-an Arduino, which governs all actions of the robot. The robot would start the operation using a high-torque DC geared motor to till the soil efficiently so that it may be set as optimum before planting. Then, it would drop the seeds at uniform intervals and at the right time, switching on a computer-controlled sprinkler to cater for moisture needs for the germination of seedlings.The robot will have various sensors as a component of the smart feature of these robots. A Soil Moisture Sensor would evaluate the moisture content of the soil, and optimize watering intervals. The DHT11 Sensor senses the room temperature and humidity, assisting in monitoring the environment. The NPK sensor is for soil nutrient composition as it helps assess soil fertility and plan the appropriate strategy for fertilizing.Based on this, the IoT module allows remote operation of the robot by farmers by controlling the working of the robot from their mobile application or web platform. It will have a positive impact by reducing physical labor dramatically.This Agricultural Robot made feasible integration of embedded systems, IoT, and sensor technologies for smart and cost-effective yet efficient service to small and medium scale farms. The real idea behind this is to empower farmers with intelligent automation tools that take profit out of improved productivity and reduced manual labor.
