The main aim of the project is to design multipurpose agriculture equipment for performing major agricultural operations like weed removing, seed sowing and watering. This Agribot operated with battery power and it consist of Robotic ARM to remove the weed. While seeing the video user can control the robot as well as water motor, seed drop motor and weed removing with ARM from WEB application by using smart mobile. Two DC motors along with L293D motor driver is used to move the robot. The main controlling device of the whole project is raspberrypi3 to achieve the task. This raspberry pi is capable of communicating with transmitter and receiver modules. The processor is interfaced with two DC motors to control the direction of the Robot. There is also a third motor interfaced to the processor. Whenever that third motor is rotating automatically the pipe attached to the motor also rotates. There is a hole on the pipe. Only when the hole comes downwards, the seeds drop outwards. We put a funnel in fixed position above the holder arrangement on the pipe. Now when the pipe is rotating, there is point of time at which the hole comes downwards, exactly at that point of time, funnel gets arranged through holder. The seeds in funnel fall down through the hole.            

Objectives:

  To develop a multipurpose agricultural vehicle for small-scale farmers.

  To simplify and improve the seed-sowing mechanism.

  To implement IoT-based wireless control of the agricultural vehicle.

  To provide seed sowing, weed removal and water pumping operations.

  To control the agricultural vehicle and its operations through a web application.

  To enable smartphone-based remote control of the vehicle.

  To use a Raspberry Pi camera for live video streaming and field monitoring.

  To provide real-time video monitoring while controlling the vehicle remotely.

  To reduce manual effort, save time and improve agricultural productivity.
