Sensing and Spraying Technique for Automated Sprayer Robot

Abstract

Abstract: Off-target loss due to manually spraying of pesti- cide over weeds results in destruction of the healthy crops, and it is considered as one of the major issue in agriculture. Sprayer automated weeder is an autonomous four-wheeler robot, with a unique sensing-spraying technique. Precision farming technique has been implemented. Robot will travel between the crop rows in straight path. An array of programmed sensors and sprayers are used to sense weeds and ,spray precise amount of pesticide . Robot is cost efficient when compared to the machines used in large scale agricultural sites. Index Terms: Off-target loss, precision farming, array of programmed sensors and sprayers.
