ABSTRACT
The technology has developed in various fields including the agriculture.
In agriculture there are many automatic machines developed in order save
the human energy and time but they are either won’t be much efficient
features or economical in cost.
So we have developed a Agriculture Robot which is capable of doing all
basic function required to be done by a farmer
INTRODUCTION
As the world’s population is tremendously growing every day and land
resources being unutilized, there is a large requirement of agricultural
productivity. In order to increase agriculture productivity ‘I-farming’ is
used.
But still there is no autonomous process where the farmer need not spend
lot of energy in his farm and lands for controlling the action of fertilizing,
watering, sowing seeds and maintenance of plants.
In our automating irrigation robot we have developed the features that is
availing the farmers a portable and an easy tool to use that will automate
the various processes that the farmer does .

EXISTING SYSTEM
At present there are two kinds of Irrigation Robots are
developed and implemented are as follows
Irrigation Robot which is capable of performing actions such as watering
(Aquarius robot) and fertilizing the plants.
Agricultural robot which is only capable of sowing the seeds(Smart Seeder).
PROPOSED SYSTEM
We have developed a portable automate irrigation robot system that
performs the tasks of the farmers such as sowing the seeds, flattening the
land, spraying fertilizers or water.
The challenges of this project are :
1. To flatten the irrigation land through flattening mechanism.
2. To integrate fertilizer spraying mechanisms on the robot as well as
watering the plant.
3. To integrate a mechanism for sowing the seeds in the crop land .
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Flattening mechanism by robot
• For this feature functioning we are using a DC motor(300RPM) controlled
through motor driver which in turn controlled by ATmega328
microcontroller on chip program. The depth at which land has to be
flattened is based on the amount of delay(turn on/off the motor) declared in
the program.
Sowing the seeds by robot
• For this feature functioning we are using a DC motor(10RPM). To control
amount of seed is to be sowed is carried out manually and DC motor is
used to control the depth at which seed to be sowed. This DC motor is
controlled by the ATmega328 microcontroller based on the delay(turn
on/off the motor) declared in the program.
WORKING PRINCIPLE(cont..)
Watering the crops based on soil moisture and spraying the pesticides by
robot
For this feature functioning we use a DC submersible water pump, soil
moisture sensor and DC motor(300RPM). Dc motor (300RPM)
mechanically moves the soil moisture sensor against the soil in depth and
checks whether the soil is wet or dry. Based on the condition of soil the DC
submersible water pump is made to allow the flow of water/fertilizer to the
crop growing land.

ADVANTAGES
To save water, money and man power in the agriculture sector.
To solve the labour problem.
To save the farmer time.
The design, which will be efficient and effort reducing to the
farmer.
DISADVANTAGES
The operating range is small
Requires skilled supervisor
More maintenance
Complexity is more to implement
CONCLUSION
This system may improve the way of agriculture is done by the farmer to
save money, time and energy.
This system may monitor and report real time situation of the robot in an
accurate manner to the farmer's mobile, thus helping the farmer to be
aware of the tasks performed.
By implementing this project in the field of agriculture we can help the
farmers in the various stage of agriculture i.e. during the seeding and
fertilizing.
This project is very useful for the farmers who are intended to do
agriculture activity but facing the labor problem .
