About

Pramod N. Rayangoudra is a researcher at the forefront of agricultural automation and smart farming technologies, with a particular focus on integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and renewable energy solutions. His most cited work, "IoT and Solar Energy Based Multipurpose Agricultural Robot for Smart Farming" (2022, 10 citations), addresses a critical challenge: in India, where nearly 70% of the population depends on agriculture, there is an urgent need to automate labor-intensive operations such as seed sowing, grass cutting, pesticide spraying, and ploughing. Rayangoudra’s contribution lies in designing a multipurpose robotic platform powered by solar energy and controlled via IoT, enabling sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient farming. This innovation directly responds to the demand for increased productivity through modern tools and technology. By combining renewable energy with smart sensing and control, his work offers a scalable solution for small and marginal farmers. Rayangoudra’s research exemplifies how engineering can transform traditional agriculture, making it more resilient and data-driven. His achievements highlight a commitment to bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and grassroots agricultural needs, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of smart and sustainable farming.
