Future of Farming

Robotics

Agriculture is one of the most important industry for providing fuel for our survival. Robots are playing an important role in field of agriculture for farming process autonomously. Agrobot is a robot designed for agricultural purposes. This paper strives to develop a robot capable of performing operations like automatic ploughing, seed dispensing, fruit picking and pesticide spraying. It also provides manual control when required and keeps tabs on the humidity with the help of humidity sensors. The concept of fruit picking and pesticide spraying is described under the process domain. Farmers today spend a lot of money on machines that help them to increase yield of crops but the profit and efficiency are very less. Hence automation is the ideal solution to overcome all the shortcomings by creating machines that perform one operations and automating it to increase yield on a large scale.
