Simplistic approach to design a prototype of autonomous, affordable, and highly efficient agricultural sprayer robot

Abstract

One of the main challenges of farming is to prevent pest attacks and reduce the risk of infection. Remote areas and adverse weather are also unfavorable for agriculture. Pesticides and medicines are harmful to human health, as well as in adverse conditions; farming is rugged, risky, and monotonous. It is possible to reduce these problems using robots in agriculture. In this paper, we have proposed an affordable prototype of highly efficient sprayer robot for easy control and maintenance, using some simple technologies based on a microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, and servo motor.
