ENERGY – EFFICIENT AGRICULTURAL ROBOT FOR SMART FARMING

Abstract

This project is about designing and building a solar-powered multipurpose agricultural robot (Agribot) that helps make farming smarter, easier, and more efficient. The main aim of this project is to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology and solar energy to reduce manual labor, save resources , and increase yield of crops. The Agribot runs on solar panels, which means it does not need fuel or electricity from outside, making it eco- friendly and cost-effective. The robot uses different sensors to sense the humidity content , moisture present in soil and temperature sensors to collect real-time data from the field. This data helps the farmer monitor and control farming activities using a mobile or web application through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. As this Agribot can perform tasks like seed sowing, watering, weed cutting, spraying pesticides or fertilizers, and avoiding obstacles while moving around the field. By automating these tasks, the robot saves time, reduces human effort, and most efficient.
