Solar Driven Agribot for farm irrigation

Agriculture accounts for a significant portion of India's GDP. Water shortages and high labour costs are two big challenges in modern agriculture. These problems can be solved by agriculture task automation, which promotes precision farming. In light of India's abundant sunlight, this paper discusses the design and creation of a solar-powered IoT-based Agribot that automates irrigation tasks and allows for remote farm monitoring. An Arduino microcontroller is used to create the Agribot. When it's not irrigating, it collects solar energy. It travels along a pre-determined path of a farm when performing irrigation, sensing soil moisture content and temperature at regular intervals. Data from multiple sensors is processed locally at each sensing point to determine the need for irrigation, and the farm is watered accordingly. Agribot also functions as an IoT system, transmitting data from multiple sensors to a remote server through a Wi-Fi connection. Raw data is processed at the remote server using signal processing operations like filtering, compression, and prediction. As a result, according to the user's request, the analysed data statistics are presented using an interactive interface.
