Agricultural Automation Robot
Abstract
This project is aimed at creating a customized robotic vehicle or a platform, which can be used for a
multitude of applications. The proposed robotic vehicle primarily makes use of technologies like GPS
and RF / GSM, in addition to using an on board microcontroller and the drives and motors to run the
vehicle. The vehicle can be commanded from a remote location, to automatically go from one point
to another in terms of the GPS coordinates.
The vehicle is also fitted with a communication device, either in terms of RF transceiver or a GSM
modem. RF is used in applications, where GSM network might not be available or when only short
distance communication is required. GSM can be used when huge distance is involved and a reliable
GSM network is available. The purpose of either the GSM or the RF is to receive the destination
location, and also to inform the user, when the vehicle reaches the destination.
The user interface to give the destination coordinates can be a PC, on which the user can type in the
destination location and then transmit it to the robotic vehicle using the RF or GSM. Alternatively in
case of GSM it can be any mobile phone, on which the user can type in the destination location as a
SMS and send the same to the robotic vehicle. Similarly, when the robotic vehicle reaches the
destination, it will either send a text message to the PC or a SMS or a mobile phone, to inform that it
has reached the destination location.
This robotic vehicle once built can be used for many different applications, like autonomous
agricultural vehicles, video and audio surveillance, Motion detection in remote locations, for
detection of hazardous conditions like nuclear radiations or poisonous gases in remote locations,
communication jamming in remote locations etc.
In this project an agricultural application like seeding or soil condition monitoring will be
demonstrated using the robot. The robot can be used for automating various agricultural process
and activities like seeding, harvesting, pest control etc.

Existing System
1. In the Existing system the robot is built for specific application.
2. The robot does not reach the destination location on its own.

Proposed System
1. In the Proposed system a single robot can be used for multiple applications.
2. The robot can be commanded from a remote location, to automatically go from one point to
another in terms of the GPS coordinates.
