Abstract - The backbone of the Indian economy is agriculture, and a sizable portion of the population depends on it for a living. The 'Agricultural Rover' is designed to give farmers a complete tractor replacement and support different farming practises. India's traditional agricultural practises relied on draught animals. Bulls and bullocks are used by the majority of
small-scale farmers to pull the plough and other similar implements. This rover is intended to take the place of the traditional and well-established farm equipment. An appropriate battery pack powers the electric motor that propels this agricultural rover. It is able to carry out almost all of the main agricultural tasks including ,monitoring , spraying fertiliser, watering, etc. An electromechanical vehicle called a rover was created to provide farmers with intelligent equipment and environmentally friendly farms for increased production. By using this rover, farmers will be more productive and their crops will yield more, all while using less physical labour. By using this rover, the issue of uniformly spraying,monitoring by camera is possible. This project presents the design and construction of an autonomous robot that seeks to address.some of the human health concerns associated with farms. This robot is designed as abase for developing systems to enable the automation of farming processes such as the spraying of pesticides designed to be as modular as possible, enabling the development and/or modification of any of the individual tasks. This project helps farming sector for developing through advance technologies.
