Agribot: Arduino Controlled Autonomous Multi-Purpose Farm Machinery Robot for Small to Medium Scale Cultivation

摘要

Agribot is a robot deployed for agricultural purposes. This is a robot that performs the farming techniques. It is an autonomous prototype robot that will help farmers in the farmland. This is an arduino controlled robot that will be able to plough, sow and water the farmland. It can replace traditional farming machinery in third world country. It can perform all the functions of farming with the click of a switch. The robot will perform farming using the analogy of ultrasonic detection in order to change its position from one farming strip to another within 1s <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> _0.05s. At present specifications the robot can perform on 0.25 acre farm land. There is scope of upgrading the specs to perform in large scale farmland. The robot Thus, will contribute greatly in developing the farming strategies and reduce farmers cost of cultivation and will also increase their profit margins.
