I. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is the main occupation. So this system in India should be advanced to reduce the efforts of farmers.
Agriculture is the cultivation and breeding of animals, plants and fungi for food, fibre, bio fuel, medicinal plants and
other products used to sustain and enhance human life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary
human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of
civilization. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. The history of agriculture dates back thousands
of years, and its development has been driven and defined by greatly different climates, cultures, and technologies.
Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture farming has become the dominant agricultural methodology.
The machine can be advanced for sowing seeds in farm with particular distance between seed is adjusted. It cans
automatically sowing seed in land. It can be also used fertilizer sowing instead of seed. The basic requirements of this
machine for small scale cropping, they should be suitable for small farms, simple in design and technology and
versatile for use in different farm operations. An automatically operated template row planting will designed and
developed to improve planting efficiency and reduce drudgery involved in manual planting method. Seed planting is
also possible for different size of seed at variable depth and space between two seeds. In the present era the vast
majority of the nations don't have adequate talented labor particularly in agrarian area and it influences the
development of creating nations. So it's an opportunity to computerize the area to defeat this issue. Remote control
applications, all things considered, seem to an ever increasing extent, particularly in farming. Industry assumes an
essential part. Presently a day's Robotics is a piece of today's correspondence and correspondence is a piece of
progression of innovation, so chosen to take a shot at Robotic field, and plan something which will make human life
today's perspective. There are distinctive sorts of portable robots which can be separated into a few classifications
comprises of wheeled robot, creeping robot and legged robot. This venture manages a wheeled self sufficient Robot. It
is the piece of Automation; Robot has adequate knowledge to cover the most extreme territory. This venture work
depicted here is very helpful in the rural fields. The venture points on the plan, advancement and manufacture of the

exhibition unit of the venture "Automated Agribusiness furrowing seeding and grass cutting utilizing Android
Smartphone".
II. RELATED WORK
 In olden days technology was not developed that much. So they were seeding by hand in sunlight
In the field of Agriculture various problems are faced by the farmers. Nowadays seed sowing is done either manually or
by tractors. Manual method includes broadcasting the seeds by hand. Sometimes method of dibbling this is making
holes and dropping seeds by hand is used.
 Plowing or Furrowing is one of the means in cultivating. Amid this procedure we till the land and make it
prepared for the seed sowing. By working we imply that furrow will be utilized which will have teeth resembles
structure toward the end and will have the capacity to turn the top layer of soil down and bad habit versa. In the field of
horticulture different issues are confronted by the ranchers in the operation like furrowing, seeding and so on.
Additionally the types of gear used to play out the operation are overwhelming and hard to deal with.
 Grass cutting is the fundamental operation in development. The primary piece of the grass cutting machines
are DC engine, transfer for controlling engine. The grass cutting is giving a rapid turn to the sharp edge, which cuts the
grass. The edge will get motor vitality while expanding the RPM. The supplies are badly arranged to deal with. So
there is a need to create hardware which will diminish the endeavors of agriculture.
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The Block graph for the most part contains ultrasonic sensor, Bluetooth module, microcontroller, L293, hand-off, LCD
and Power supply. These modules are incorporated to do a solitary assignment. The proposed framework is controlled
with Renesas 64 stick microcontroller. Here, Bluetooth will send the contribution to the microcontroller.
Microcontroller takes just advanced info. Robot machine can't read computerized input so L293 is a Motor driver
circuit that believers advanced flag to simple or mechanical info. Engines are appended to robot machine that is
controlled by driver circuit. To do development, engines are required. Driver circuit is utilized to control speed. In
Seeding valve there is opening and shutting development. At right position it will open and close, will settle some
deferral. Ultrasonic sensors will distinguish the plants. Plant cutting is finished by engines. Transfer is an exchanging
operation and furrowing is performed.

VI. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
The system is beneficial to the farmers for the basic seed sowing operation. The mode of operation of this machine is
very simple even to the lay man. Low germination percentage leading to wastage of seeds can be reduced by the use of
this system. Creation of gap due to non-germination of seeds can be avoided. Total yield percentage can be increased
effectively. Labor problem can be reduced. As compared to manual & tractor based sowing time, energy required for
this robot machine is less. Also wastage of seed is less. So this system will be a better option for the farmers who want
to perform the basic operation in a well organized manner. To make the system applicable for real time purposes
components with greater range needs to be implemented.
In future, this project can be taken to the product level. To make this project as user friendly and durable, I need to
make it compact and cost effective. Going further, most of the units can be embedded along with the controller on a
single board with change in technology, thereby reducing the size of the system. Solar panel can be provided for
minimize the usage of renewable sources. Bluetooth can be replaced by GSM, Zigbee for longer distance. And can use
camera for video interaction which will detect the obstacles during seed sowing. Smart robots can be used which will
work automatically for sowing the seeds without use of human interaction. Temperature sensor, soil moisture sensor
and motion sensors can be added for the excellent working of the robot. It also includes the weeding and harvesting in
this system.
