Development of a Robotic Navigator to Assist the Farmer in Field

摘要

Abstract—This paper reports on development of a robotic navigator, “Robo Kisan”, developed to assist the farmer in the crop field and show the complete function of the sensor for crop disease detection. This robotic navigator equipped with sensors for automatic mobility in the crop field is developed in two folds: Hardware design and Software design. A short description of the sensor for crop disease detection along with the navigator hardware and software are described in detail. The goal of the present design of the navigator is to make it carry sensors and other tools as per requirement to help the farmer in detecting the disease and other repetitive jobs. Key words — agriculture, disease detection, microcontroller, navigator, robot, software platform I.
