Solar powered robot for agricultural applications

Abstract

In many economies around the world, countries focus on developing their agricultural field and activity. The agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors because it meets the world's requirements for providing food. Often time’s workers in the agricultural sector face hard work all day. In addition, there are bulldozers and various agricultural machines, which take a long time to work, which increases the cost of workers directly. The aim of this research is to design Solar Powered Robot for different agricultural applications such as spraying the fertilizers on the fields. In addition, cutting the excess grass near the crops, and proper way to sowing seeds and planting the plants whatever crops of large or small area. This robot consists of the solar panel to charging the battery, four motors, multiple sensors, pixy2 camera to analyze the images and support the robot to move in the tracking line a most important part of robot is Arduino UNO. Finally, the robot was tested in agricultural land and able to achieve the objectives of the design. This robot will do several operations such as cutting the excess grass and distributing seeds on the surface of agricultural land and the sprayer will spraying the paper fertilizer all of these operations done by different sensors.
