IoT Based Multipurpose Agribot with Field Monitoring System

摘要

The objective of this paper is to design, development and the fabrication of the Agribot which is a multipurpose bot can perform all the farming operations including ploughing the soil of the field, sowing seeds in the ploughing area, making the field in plain by using leveler, watering the crops, fertilizing them and monitor the agribot by using camera. The traditional farming methods consume a lot of manual labour. Some of the operations are manual, while others are operated using manually operated machines. Therefore, there are no such robots, which can perform all these operations autonomously. In addition with this when the major fieldwork is done, the farmer has to keep a check on the field for various reasons. This is achieved by the monitoring system. Various parameters such as drip irrigation, fertilizing, maintaining temperature (for green house farming), removal of extra water (during floods) and keeping track of crop growth by camera will be taken care by using monitoring system.
