Abstract

The paper ?smart robot for seeds defect monitoring and seeds sowing? is focused on automated monitoring and sowing of seeds for social welfare of Indian agriculture system. The main reason behind automation of farming process are saving time and energy required for performing repetitive farming tasks. Some of the most common robots in agriculture are used for seeding, spraying, digging, harvesting etc.. Very basic and significant operation is seed sowing. But the present methods of seed sowing are problematic. The equipment used for seed sowing is very difficult and inconvenient to handle. As soon as the program dumped into ARDUINO, the robot starts navigating towards it. The robot aligns itself with the troughs as it moves through the aisle using sharp sensors mounted on it. On reaching the trough, the bot activates a motor, attached with a rotor, to drop a single seed. Wheel encoder information is used to calculate the distance moved by the bot. This distance information is used to activate the seed mechanism so that the inner seeding distance of the crop is maintained.
