Abstract :
The creation of a novel robot created
especially for agricultural situations is described in this
study. While ensuring the security of the primary crop,
the robot combines cutting-edge features, such as weed
removal and plant health monitoring. The robot can
precisely identify and classify various kinds of weeds and
plants thanks to its 5DOF robotic arm, servo gripper,
and state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms. A
camera system also makes it possible to track plant
health and find soil moisture. The robot is self-sufficient
and runs on a 12V battery with efficient energy use. The
suggested method for getting rid of weeds makes use of a
robotic arm-mounted nozzle and a servo gripper for
precision weed removal. Additionally, the robot can
drive independently and avoid obstacles in diverse
agricultural settings thanks to route identification
employing the ground-breaking idea of pixel summation.
Field experiments have shown the robot's effectiveness in
lowering weed populations, enhancing plant growth, and
collecting useful information on the health of plants and
the moisture level of the soil. This robot has the potential
to revolutionize the agricultural industry by reducing the
demand for human labour and increasing productivity
and sustainability in farming. This project benefits
farmers, agricultural enterprises, and researchers in the
field of agriculture by providing an effective and
practical solution for weed eradication, plant health
monitoring, and automation in agriculture.
