Abstract- This research paper introduces an advanced autonomous vehicle designed as a powerful agricultural tool with a significant capacity for soil management. This multifunctional system revolutionizes farming by integrating planting, plowing, watering, and trimming operations, significantly reducing labor and enhancing productivity. The vehicle autonomously cultivates farmland by adhering to specified rows and columns at predetermined distances tailored to the crop type. An Android smartphone facilitates remote operation via Bluetooth, interfacing with a microcontroller that manages the system's calculations, processing, and monitoring.

The primary motivation behind developing this robot was to simplify farming tasks for future farmers. Given the current advancements in robotics and large-scale agriculture, this study leverages both technologies. The control of the robot is achieved using the Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) method, enabling robust and long-distance communication through a mobile phone. This allows farmers to efficiently manage their agricultural activities remotely, eliminating the need for physical presence in the field.
