Design, Fabrication, and Implementation of an Agriculture robot

Abstract

Agriculture is one of man's earliest known occupations. Because of its pervasiveness in our life and our reliance on it, many engineers search for ways to improve agricultural robots. Despite this, the vast majority of farmers still use obsolete methods and implements, such as wooden ploughs and sickles, to cultivate their land. Random sowing is one approach, but it requires more resources (seeds, water, fertiliser) and hence increases the expense of addressing the issues in agriculture. In this study, we present a robot that can address this issue by monitoring the distance between seeds to prevent unnecessary water loss and by using a soil PH sensor to ascertain when plants need to be fertilised. The HC-05 Bluetooth module is linked to an Android device, allowing for remote control of the robot's movement. The simulation analysis and temperature/humidity graph were generated with the help of Proteus software. Proteus software also simulated the soil's water content and the ph value of items in the soil.
