Multipurpose autonomous agricultural robot

Abstract

More than 40 percent of the population in the world chooses agriculture as the primary occupation. In recent years, increased interest has grown for the development of the autonomous vehicles like robots in the agriculture. The existing agricultural robot performs basic elementary functions like harvesting, planting and spreading the pesticides. The Proposed system aims at designing multipurpose autonomous agricultural robotic vehicle which can be controlled through Bluetooth for ploughing, seeding and irrigation systems. This is especially important for the workers in the area of potentially harmful for the safety and health of the workers. These robots are used to reduce human intervention, ensuring proper irrigation and efficient utilization of resources. These robots are mainly useful in automated weed control; usage of fertilizers based on soil condition, soil sensors for drip irrigation in rain feed areas.
