Design and Analysis of Agri-rover for Farming

Agriculture is the main occupation of Indian population. Although 70% of the population is employed in agriculture, its share in the GDP is only about 20.5%. This low contribution to GDP from agricultural sector is mainly due to use of traditional outdated technology. Hence, there is a need for improvement in agricultural sector. For improvement in each and every steps in the crop production, new devices are required. Application of robotics in agriculture is not new. In this project, an attempt has been made to design and analyze a robot (Agri-Rover) which will provide complete solution for multifarious activities associated with agriculture. The operation of seed sowing is carried out by the system using a particular mechanism which in turn is controlled by an ARDUINO controller and the motion of the robot is controlled by Internet of things (IOT). The advantage of a small seeding machine is that it can be maneuvered in a small area.
