Krishi Yantrarora – A Modern Agro Robot

Abstract

Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy and it will continue to remain so for a long time. A man without food for three days will quarrel, for a week will fight and for a month or so will die. Agriculture is a branch of applied science. Agriculture is the science and art of farming including cultivating the soil, producing crops and raising livestock. It is the most important enterprise in the world. Over the years, agricultural practices have been carried out by small-holders cultivating between 2 to 3 hectares, using human labour and traditional tools. Agriculture is an essential thing for survival of the humans and the farmers who do agriculture spend so much of time in ploughing the field and irrigating the field etc. The proposed system is a boon to farmers which combines the robotics with agriculture and capable of moving around the field like a farmer and testing the soil, irrigating to the plants or field, Plough the field and sow the seed in the pre-determined row and irrigate the field along the rows autonomously.
