Abstract:

The aim of this project is to create an intelligent spraying robot that will decrease pesticide use and human health damage, allowing farmers to be protected and labour intensity can be reduced. More than 60 percent of the population in India do agriculture as the primary sector occupation. At present, due to increase in shortage of labour, interest has raised for the development of the autonomous vehicles like robots in the agriculture field. A system called “Design and Fabrication of Smart Agricultural Sprayer” has been designed to minimize the labour cost of farmers in addition to increasing the speed and accuracy of the work. The Proposed system is designed with the multipurpose autonomous agricultural Smart vehicle which can be controlled through ESP module, for spraying pesticide on the plants but not in free space, The project was tested on the field, The robot is successfully able to move in all the direction. Pesticide spraying unit is capable of spraying pesticide only on the plant not in the free space.
