Agribot

This document describes a multi-purpose agricultural robot that can perform multiple farming tasks autonomously. The robot is designed to plow, level soil, and spray water through the integration of these functions into a single vehicle. It works using a PIC microcontroller and can sense soil moisture using a humidity sensor. The robot's functions include plowing using a rotor to break up soil, leveling the ground using a plate, sowing seeds by precisely depositing them from a hopper box attached to rotating wheels, and spraying water based on soil moisture readings. This multi-tasking robot aims to improve farming efficiency by reducing labor needs and performing various processes simultaneously in an automated manner.

ABSTRACT

Agriculture is the backbone of India. The history of Agriculture in India


dates back to Indus Valley Civilization Era and even before that in some parts
of Southern India. Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. The
special vehicles plays a major role in various fields such as industrial, medical,
military applications etc., The special vehicle field are gradually increasing its
productivity in agriculture field. Some of the major problems in the Indian
agricultural are rising of input costs, availability of skilled labors, lack of water
resources and crop monitoring..
INTRODUCTION

The automation in the agriculture could help


farmers to reduce their efforts. The vehicles are being
developed for the processes for ploughing, leveling, water
spraying. All of these functions have not yet performed
using a single vehicle. In this the robots are developed to
concentrate in an efficient manner and also it is expected to
perform the operations autonomously. The proposed idea
implements the vehicle to perform the functions such as
ploughing, seed sowing, mud leveling, water spraying.
These functions can be integrated into a single vehicle and
then performed.
WORKING PRINCIPLE

The project aims on the design, development and the fabrication of the robot which
can dig the soil, leveler to close the mud and turn on and turn off the motor depending on
water level in the ground and this whole system of the robot works with the battery and the
solar power. The language input allows a user to interact with the robot which is familiar to
most of the people. The advantages of these robots are hands-free and fast data input
operations. In the field of agricultural autonomous vehicle, a concept is been developed to
investigate if multiple small autonomous machine could be more efficient than traditional
large tractors and human forces. Keeping the above ideology in mind, a unit with the
following feature is designed.
Robot has rotor which will destroy the unwanted grasses while moving and also level
the ground.All the operations are performed with the help of PIC microcontroller.
Humidity sensor is used to sense the moisture content in the environment.
STEERING OPERATION
Rack and pinion Mechanism for steering operation.
The pinion is coupled with the DC Motor.
The power for motor is regulated by Relay switch.
The direction of motor rotation can be controlled by remote
controller for steering the vehicle to either left or right side
direction.

CULTIVATING OPERATION

A DC Motor coupled with the screw rod is used.


The power for motor is regulated by relay switch.
The screw rod rotates and the nut welded to the
cultivator slides between the screws of the screw rod.
SEED SOWING OPERATION
A sheet metal hopper box is used for Seed storage.
We have provided 3 holes to the main wheel shaft, where the
Storage box is placed above it.
The main wheels are powered by DC motor which is regulated
by a Relay switch and is controlled by a remote controller.
As the motor is switched on, the wheels tend to rotate and
rotation of shaft makes the seeds fall on the cultivated filed.
MUD CLOSING AND LEVELING OPERATION
A Sheet metal Plate is used as mud closer and leveler.
The sliding mechanism is used for leveler up & down
movement.
The Leveler is powered by a DC motor which is regulated
by Relay switch and controlled by a remote controller.
ADVANTAGES
• Multiple tasks are done by single robot
• Work will be reduced
• Time is reduced
• Efficient use of resources
• Seeds and plants can be planted in rows and columns
.
• Reduced in human power

DISADVANTAGES

• Controlling motors are difficult


• Complex connections
• Large dc batteries required
CONCLUSION

This paper concludes about the efficiency of the use of the robotic technology
in the agricultural tasks. The development of the crop
production is done by knowing the needs of the crop such as the type of the soil,
weeding, and watering, leveling, drilling, seeding,
weather monitoring. To improve the efficiency in the agricultural sector there is a need
of the mechanical control system. This can
be achieved by the robots which can work faster with more productivity.
