Agriculture is critical to the economy’s survival. It is the foundation of our economic system. This project’s work centred on the monitoring of agriculture we are using robot for agricultural field the robot has Battery-powered wheels with a built-in dc motor , this will monitor the conditions in the agriculture by using soil sensor and dht11 level sensor . soil sensor is used for soil quality to know wetness and dryness in the soil, we use dht11 for temperature and humidity monitoring in the agricultural land we control this robot with hc05 bluetooth module to give commands left,right,forward ,backward . we connect l293 driver module with dc motors for robot setup to take commands. we also upload this data to cloud server thingspeak for monitoring of sensor data through mobile phone.so it will be helpful for farmers to know the agricultural conditions like soil quality and weather conditions in land. Design and implementation of a versatile agriculture robot aimed at automating key farming tasks such as ploughing, seeding, and spraying.
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) enables remote monitoring and control of the robot, enhancing precision agriculture practices . Navigation is done by Bluetooth- module(HC-05).The ESP8266 facilitates seamless connectivity, allowing the agriculture robot to transmit data to a centralized server or a cloud platform. Soil moisture sensors provide accurate and timely information about soil conditions, enabling the robot to make informed decisions regarding irrigation. In the absence of adequate soil moisture, the relay system activates a pump to supply water, ensuring optimal moisture levels for crop growth. This multipurpose agriculture robot offers several advantages, including resource efficiency, labor savings, and improved crop yield..
Existing SystemThe primary issues facing the agriculture industry include a shortage of workers for farms, ignorance about soil testing, rising labour costs, and increased seed and water waste. Using robotics technology in agriculture is a relatively novel concept. A significant portion of the Indian economy is devoted to agriculture. In India, the majority of people’s income comes from agriculture.
Proposed SystemIn Proposed System We Are Implementing a Agricultural Robot For Monitoring The Temperature And Humidity In The Agriculture Land And We Are Also Knowing The Moisture Level In The Soil. We Are Using Esp8266 Controller For Iot Applications Which Has Inbuilt Wifi Module Automatically Every Second By Second Sensor Data Is Uploaded To Cloud We Can See The Soil Moisture Level ,Temperature, Humidity Readings Through Mobile Phone.We Are Controlling Robot With Bluetooth Hc05 To Give Commands / Directions For Robot To Move Left ,Right, Forward And Backward.
