Automated Home Garden System Using Robotics

Abstract

Lawn management technology automatically irrigates the plantings as needed thereby reducing one's labor. The concept of automated watering is accomplished by measuring water content of soil and avoiding human interference in the yard. The inlet pressure supplies water via the pipeline by evaluating sensor readings. A fire sensing device detects flames or smoke in the yard. GSM is utilized to notify the user of the precise filed status. The data to be sent is structured as messages and transmitted to specified location. A wireless camera is attached to the robotic device to take images and shoot video of the garden area. With minimum human participation, an integrated smart gardening machine entirely controls the duties of keeping plants alive. Our research proposes a surveillance robot that will monitor the water supply to the plants without much user involvement. Whenever the soil becomes dry and moisture level falls below the threshold value the robot will alert the owner through a text message and immediately supplies water to the plants. The technique also makes sure that no excess of water is supplied to the plants. The robotic setup is also capable of monitoring the other parameters such as temperature, humidity and fire around the garden area.
