Investigations on the Design and Simulation of Smart Irrigation Robot for Nurseries

Abstract

The irrigation systems in nurseries can be the cause of various water supply errors- ranging from lack of sufficient water supply to over-watering and imbalance in the water pH levels. Based on the statistics recorded by the department of agriculture and farmers welfare, we have conducted we concluded that the water supply management and plant life maintenance are the major problems. Considering all these real-time errors, we have designed a smart irrigation robot functioning on the inputs from a group of soil moisture sensors which helps eliminate the monotonous task of monitoring and keeping records of the change in soil moisture.
