Design of an Internet of Things Agriculture Robot for Precision Farming Applications

Abstract

Agriculture is the most important industry to provide the food, feed and fuel needed for our survival.  So it became the main occupation for over 70 percent of the population in India. Due to its introduction, improved speed and accuracy of work and reduced labor, interest in the production of autonomous vehicles such as robots has been significantly increased in recent years in the agriculture sector. Digital farming is the application using emerging technology such as Robotics which certainly play an important role for farming processes autonomously in the field of agriculture. The design of these robots is modeled on the basis of the particular approach with specific strategy in which it is going to operate. The four-wheel prototype is designed for a multifunctional use by an Autonomous Agricultural Robot such as seeding, IoT-controlled pesticide spray. Such robots are used to minimize human interaction and guarantee high performance and resource development.
