SOWING AND TILLING ROBOT CONTROLLED BY IR SENSORS

Abstract

More than 40% of the population in the world chooses agriculture as the primary occupation, in recent years the development of the autonomous vehicles[8]in the agriculture has experienced increased interest. The robot is controlled by IR sensor input and is developed by 8051 micro controller[9][10]. In the field of agricultural autonomous vehicle, a concept is been developed to investigate if multiple small autonomous machine could be more efficient than traditional large tractors and human forces. Keeping the above ideology in mind, a unit with the following feature is designed: Tilling[7] is one of the first steps in farming. Seed sowing[7] comes next where the seeds need to be put in ground at regular intervals and these needs to be controlled automatically. Mud leveler is fitted to close the seeds to the soil and to level the ground.
