Multi-Functional Agribot

Abstract

This project aims to design an agricultural robot to perform operations such as plowing, seeding, leveling, pesticide spraying, and plant health monitoring. The proposed Agribot is built by using the Raspberry Pi microcontroller. The microcontroller, the heart of the robotic system can manipulate the whole actions of the system. A motor driving circuit is used to drive the DC motors which in turn control the wheel motion. The Raspberry pi is given with a high-tech web camera for capturing the image, since the resolution of the given Raspberry pi camera is not sufficient to get the clarity image, Wi-Fi is used for the manual control of the robot. The Agribot is powered using a 12V battery. This 12V is used for the functioning of all other components like Relay, Motors, and Motor Drivers.
