Abstract


Agribot is a robot designed for agricultural purpose. As one of the trends of development on automation and intelligence of agricultural machinery in the 21st century, we are applying the idea of robotics technology in agriculture, since robotics technology is used in many of the fields such as defense, surveillance, medical field, industries and so on. In this paper, the robot system is used to develop the process of cultivating agricultural land without the use of man power. The aim of the paper on Agribot is to reduce the man power, time and increase the productivity rate. It completes the elementary functions involved in farming i.e. harvesting, spraying. And they steadily appear advantages in agricultural production to increase productivity, increase application accuracy and enhance handling safety. It will send the data’s through the GSM module to owner’s phone, this data can be studied and improve the chances of an application to read the data coming through GSM modem. All kinds of agricultural robots have been researched and developed to implement a number of agricultural productions in many countries. This Bot can take humidity, temperature, soil moister, etc. of farm. In agriculture, the opportunities for robot-enhanced productivity are enormous and the robots are appearing on farms in various guises and increasing numbers. We can expect the robots performing agriculture operations autonomously such as spraying and mechanical weed control, watching the farms day and night for an effective report. Agribot is a robot designed for agricultural purposes. It is designed to minimize the labor of farmers in addition to increasing the speed and accuracy of the work so the agribot helps framer to increase productivity by reducing labor cost.
