Solar based seed sowing robot (P-0361) (MFN 8538)

Abstract

In Pakistan, there is a dire need of agricultural advancements as farmers are still using conventional seed sowing techniques which are reaping less benefits. So the agricultural system should be made technologically advanced in Pakistan to reduce the efforts of farmers a well as to increase efficiency and productivity and to minimize the energy consumption in crop operations. Precision farming is given more importance now a days so there a need to shift to this trend. This report will give a better solution which focuses on maximization of production yield. With the advent of technology new facilities are created for creating ease in agricultural methods. Technologists are trying to develop new systems based on automation, which works very effectively and based on real time technology. New technologies of seed sowing has an extraordinary impact on the cost and yield of agriculture product. These technologies improves the living standard of farmers as they just need to guide robot and it will sow seeds automatically. The prime purpose of seed sowing with autonomous robot is to measure precise depth and proper spacing between the holes and cover the seed with soil to provide a good compaction for the seed. The aim of this project is to design and fabricate a robot which would be completely autonomous, based on solar energy. It would be available to all the farmers on very cheaper rate.
