Lag in collecting, spreading and improper seedbed economic activities in India. This paper deals with trade and preparation reduces the yield of the crop. Hence, the development of low cost, low power and less human effort robot modernization of automation in the field of agriculture helps in the agronomic applications. Agricultural automata are widely to overcome from the above challenges [6]. To beat these real used at the collecting phase, tunneling, cultivating and seeding. time issues automatic robots were used . This robot is intended to reduce the farmer’s effort. The designed Robotics techniques are efficient for achieving the tasks such as automatic cultivating, seed providing, water sprinkling, The main goal of developing farming automation knowledge insecticide spraying and Grassland wounding with the help of is to moderate the labor energy[7]. Automation and artificial solar energy. Seeds are spread in 4 rackets at a single instant. intelligence accomplishments offers solutions in precision Initially, the robot digs the complete field concurrently providing agriculture. The works related to scattering, collecting, seeds adjacent by side and finishes the required actions in a unwanted plant control. to recover the efficiency. Robots were robotic mode with embedded programs. For a labor-intensive designed based on the flexible automatic bending joints [8]. control, the robot uses the remote controller as android app. The applications of instrumental robotics taking the track over the entire world to cover the additional areas with required Keywords—robot. solar energy, picking, digging, cultivating, seed robotics, substituting human operators provides effective dispensing, insecticide, scattering. results to the uncountable problems with higher competence [9]. An advanced idea of our paper is to automate the I.INTRODUCTION procedure of planting, cultivating, pesticide spraying and tunneling to decrease the humanoid effort and increase the In Indian economy farming plays significant role. The major harvest. The farming of seeds are robotically done by DC challenges of skilled man power which helps to enhance the motor [10]. The distance among the two seeds is measured and financial growth of the nation. In the present situation, the varied by using Microcontroller. It is also possible to nurture environmental effects of agricultural production is much in different kinds of seeds with dissimilar distance. The proposed importance. Hence the requirements in the field of agriculture idea contains sprayer, which would be used for reducing the are growing constantly. Farming history antedates thousands wastage of fertilizers that is done by spraying appropriate of centuries, and its growth was determined and well-defined amount of fertilizers required for the specific crop [11]. The by very diverse climates, principles, and skills [2]. World mode of process can be changed with the help of instructions health organization recognized that earth’s residents will touch existing in the robot application [12]. Any nonlinear 9 billion in 35 years which will lead to an astonishing demand relationship between input and outputs are controlled by this in increase of growth of food crops [4]. Since the traditional system [13][14]. The further step is to develop more advanced methods like spreading, scattering are carried by the people, GPS system that increases the accuracy [15]. By using which results in low production in the field of Agriculture. On rectangular based geometry the robot direction can be the other aspects like inferior level of automation [5] controlled [16]. inadequate accessibility of power also disturb the efficiency of 978-1-7281-4167-1/20/$31.00 ©2020 IEEE 184 Authorized licensed use limited to: Universidade de Macau.
