Multipurpose Robot for Agricultural Automation

Abstract: Farmers today spend a lot of money on machines that help to decrease labour and to increase the yield of crops but profit and efficiency are less. Agricultural automation is the only method to overcome this problem. The robot proposed here is capable of performing operations like automated ploughing, fruit picking and pesticide spraying. The controlling technology is Raspberry Pi which is the brain of the system that supervise the entire operation. Manual control can also be provided with the help of GSM. The main aim is to increase the crop production with increased efficiency.
