Aurdino Based Automaticagricultural Support System

Abstract

Almost centuries Indian farmers follow a set of prescribed manuals for cultivation. Water scarcity, patchy power supply and nonavailability of skilled labor have consistently led the backbone of the farmer which directly affects the economic growth of the country. This paper highlights the three major problems(skill, labor, water) in the agriculture field and presents an automated multipurpose Robot for the agricultural system to reduce manpower, cost and time. For this automation the solar power backup is provided to the robot, to make it eco-friendly. Concerning this concept, additional smart irrigation is added to reduce water losses. We also provide sufficient delay to the robot for maintaining digging, dropping of seed and water supplying accurately. A combination of electronic circuits and mechanical arrangement enhances the power of the system in the automated platform. All the operations are monitored and controlled by Arduino-Uno using L298N motor drivers. The ultimate objective of the proposed model is to support farming in the direction of automation with a step ahead to words next generation.
