MULTIPURPOSE AGRICULTURE ROBOT USING LORA

Abstract

In excess of 70% of the population in India choose agribusiness as the primary occupation. In earlier days, farmers use traditional equipment to perform various activities in agricultural field that are difficult to handle. Farmers are facing many problems with old traditional equipment’s, so agricultural system in India should be advanced to reduce the efforts of the farmers. There is need for finding the new ways to develop the efficiency of the agricultural tasks. In agricultural field, robotics plays an important role in helping farmers.  In this paper, it is presented about that a single robot that perform multiple agricultural tasks. This proposed work aims at design and development of the robot for the operations such as seed sowing, Grass cutting and pesticide spraying. Battery is used for robot movement where battery gets charged using solar energy and this robot is operated using Lora which sends the signals to the robot for required mechanism. Lora (Long Range) is a new technology used for long distance communication. This increases the efficiency of seed sowing, pesticide spraying and grass cutting and also problem encountered in manual planting will be reduced.
