Smart Irrigation Robot for Agricultural and Industrial Purpose

Mechanical engineering

The project presents the use of correct soil moisture sensors which helps to ease out the pain to monitor and keep records about the changes in soil moisture. Using the Arduino Mega microcontroller with Light-Depended Resistor sensor, moisture sensor, and temperature sensor, the temperature is measured and analyzed. The soil for a certain duration provides information related to the moisture status of the soil. The Arduino Mega will collect and process the data received from the Sensors. When a threshold moisture level of the soil is reached, the water will supply accordingly. This is essential because water must be provided to the plant at a particular time for a good yield. This project is highly used for farmers, Nursery professionals by eradicating traditional or manual methods of irrigation systems. The smart irrigation system is an automatic irrigation system which is being widely used in the field of agriculture. Irrigation is practiced in farms where there is a scarcity of water. This smart irrigation system is a farmer-friendly irrigation system, which is completely automated. This system runs without intervention of humans. This smart irrigation system, using Arduino-Uno, checks the moisture level in the soil. If the moisture level in the soil is low, it automatically sends an alert message and turns on the water motor to flow water to the soil. If the moisture level in the soil is sufficient, it switches off the motor. This system helps in agricultural crop growth and soil maintenance. The smart irrigation system reduces the effect caused by insufficient rainfall. This irrigation system prevents excess of water flowing into the soil which causes a wastage of water, electricity and damage to the soil, effectively.
