INTRODUCTION

This project work described here is quite useful in the agricultural fields. The project
aims on the design Agricultural Robot for Spraying water, seeding, Mulching and cutting
operation”. More than 42% of the total population in the world has chosen agriculture as
their primary occupation. In recent years, the development of autonomous vehicles in
agriculture has experienced increased interest.

This development has led many researchers to start developing more rational and
adaptable vehicles. In the field of agricultural autonomous vehicles, a concept is being
developed to investigate if multiple small autonomous machines would be more efficient
than traditional large tractors and human force.

These vehicles should be capable of working 24 hours a day all year round, in most
weather conditions and have the intelligence embedded within them to behave sensibly in
a semi-natural environment over long periods of time, unattended, while carrying out a
useful task. There are a number of field operations that can be executed by autonomous
vehicles, giving more benefits than conventional machines.

The idea of applying robotics technology in agriculture is very new. In agriculture, the
opportunities for robot-enhanced productivity are immense - and the robots are appearing
on farms in various guises and in increasing numbers. We can expect the robots
performing agricultural operations autonomously such as ploughing, seed sowing, mud
closing and water spraying. Watching the farms day & night for an effective report,
allowing farmers to reduce the environmental impact, increase precision and efficiency,
and manage individual plants in novel ways.

The applications of instrumental robotics are spreading every day to cover further
domains, as the opportunity of replacing human operators provides effective solutions
with return on investment. This is specially important when the duties, that need be
performed, are potentially harmful for the safety or the health of the workers, or when
more conservative issues are granted by robotics. Heavy chemicals or drugs dispensers,
manure or fertilizers spreaders, etc. are activities more and more concerned by the
deployment of unmanned options.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

In the field of agriculture, various operation are performed. For example, grass cutting,
cultivation, seed sowing, water sprinkling, mud closing. workers should require strength
and skill for the working. Fig. shows the platform of an agricultural robot designed on the
basis of the design concept of open architecture. Robot structure is divided in to three
section, first is embedded section second is battery section and last one is water tank. A
portable PC or smartphone, motor controllers and other control components are placed in
the front cabin and a camera is fixed in front of it for capturing the front images. The rear
cabin can be used for storage boxes to store some materials such as seeds, water and
fertilizers. The driving devices include DC motors and wheels. According to the needs of
operations and control, the driven method of the platform can be chosen.

Block diagram of Proposed System

Elements of block diagram are as follows:

1. Grass cutting operation:

A grass cutter is a machine utilizing one or more revolving blades to cut a grass surface
to an even height. The height of the cut grass may be fixed by the design of the mower,
but generally is adjustable by the operator, typically by a single master lever, or by a
lever or nut and bolt on each of the machine's wheels. The blades may be powered by
muscle, with wheels mechanically connected to the cutting blades so that when the
mower is pushed forward, the blades spin, or the machine may have a battery-powered or
plug-in DC motor.

2. 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.

3. 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. As the leveling plate moves
downward to the ground level, the mud is closed in the sowed soil.

4. 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.

As the cultivator is lowered down, soil is digged up to 1.5 inches. The direction of motor
rotation can be controlled by remote controller for up and down movement of the
cultivator.

5. Water spraying operation:

A water container is used for water storage. A water pump is used for pumping water to
the water sprayer. The water flows to the sprayer through pipe. The power for pump is
regulated by a toggle switch

ADVANTAGES

 Reduce the workload on the farmer and as it is easier to operate.

 The former need not spry in the hot sun, he can operate the device while standing in a
cooler place.
 By the development of these robots lot of manual labour will also be decreased and
the farmer life will save from chemicals.

APPLICATIONS

 Agricultural robotics is the use of automation in bio systems such as agriculture,

forestry, and fisheries. It is replacing the conventional techniques to perform the same
tasks, with efficiency.
 Applying automation to agriculture has helped create several advancements to the
industry while helping farmers save money and time.
 Multipurpose agriculture robot use in grass cutting in play grounds(cricket, football),
For house garden, for small farms, for nursaries.

CONCLUSION

The robot for agricultural purpose an robot is a concept for the near the performance and
cost of the product once optimized, will prove to be work through in the agricultural
spraying operations. We have been successful in developing a robot whose construction
is enough to withstand the challenges of the field. We are sure that once this concept is
presented in a manner suitable to Indian market, it will differently help in bringing down
the 15% molality rate found in the Indian formers associated with the agricultural
spraying operation
