Abstract

Agriculture is the predominant employment of more than 40% of the global population. The primary goal of the project is to create an agricultural multifunctional vehicle that might operate automatically. It is intended to reduce the amount of work farmers have to do while both speeding up and improving the quality of the work. India's economy is built primarily on agriculture. Farmers are the backbone of the food-producing industry. Traditionally, humans have carried out farming with the use of bullock carts, tractors, tillers, and other tools. The main issues facing agriculture in the current era include labour shortages, a lack of understanding of soil testing, rising labour costs, seed and water waste, and an increase in labour costs. We approach constructing an agricultural robot for diverse duties as a solution to this issue. Indeed, robots are essential to the autonomous agricultural process in the world of agriculture. The possibility of using robots in agriculture is increasing production, and many more robots are showing up in the field. The agricultural sector is just one of several with primary energy sources predicted to be solar energy. Solar-powered tools, equipment, and robots can be particularly helpful in farming because they often operate in regions with abundant sunlight. As solar technology spreads, it will also become relatively reasonably priced for farmers, which can encourage solar adoption in the sector. A robotic platform that focuses on implementing all of the suggested systems employs a microcontroller, dc motors, dc pumps, and other devices to implement all aspects of farming, particularly watering and sowing.
