About

Priyadarshini Hriddhi Roy is an emerging researcher in agricultural robotics and sustainable engineering, with a focus on integrating renewable energy into smart farming systems. Her most cited work, "A PV-Powered Microcontroller-Based Agricultural Robot Utilizing GSM Technology for Crop Harvesting and Plant Watering" (2023), addresses the critical challenge of high labor costs in Bangladesh’s agricultural sector. She proposes a solar-powered, intelligent robot that combines microcontrollers, sonar sensors, and GSM technology to automate grass cutting, pesticide application, and plant watering—offering a low-cost, eco-friendly solution for smallholder farms. With 4 citations since publication, this work has already sparked interest in precision agriculture and off-grid automation. Roy’s contributions lie at the intersection of embedded systems, renewable energy, and agritech, demonstrating how microcontroller-based designs can make advanced farming accessible in developing regions. Her research highlights the potential of solar-powered robotics to reduce manual labor while increasing crop yields, positioning her as a promising voice in sustainable agricultural innovation.
