3. OBJECTIVE
As we all know the main requirement in the
industry or any firm is man power. So, the
main objective of our project is to reduce
the need of man power. This is to develop a
robot capable of performing operations like
automatic seeding, irrigation, fertilization.
It also provides manual as well as auto
control. The main component here is the
ARDUINO that supervises the entire
process. At the present time, robots are
increasingly being integrated into working
tasks to replace humans specially to
perform repetitive task. Seeding is one of
the first steps in farming. During this
process seeding is carried out in all the rows
of the farming

Seeding. This paper is an effort towards the
automation of seeding process. The
developed system is capable of performing
the seeding operation in the agricultural
field. The major limitation that was found
in the previous systems is the seeding
arrangement. The seeding arrangement is
not flexible and only one type of seeds can
be used. This limitation is overcome in the
existing system. Based on the trials done
the system is capable of performing the
seeding operation. Uniform depths for the
seed placement and uniform distance
between the two successive seeds were
obtained.

in farming i.e. spraying of pesticide, sowing
of seeds, and so on. Spraying pesticides

agriculture field for increasing yield of
crops. Flexibility of automation system is
high than traditional system.

• Consists of plowing unit
• Seed sowing
• Servo motor

Servo Motor: A servomotor is a rotary

actuator or linear actuator that allows for
precise control of angular or linear position,
velocity and acceleration.

7. HARDWARE COMPONENT
Arduino: Arduino is an open-source
electronics platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software.
Figure:4
Humidity sensor (DH11): A humidity
sensor (or hygrometer) senses, measures
and reports the relative humidity in the air.
... Relative humidity is the ratio of actual
moisture in the air to the highest amount of
moisture that can be held at that air
temperature.

DC Motor: A DC motor is any of a class of

rotary electrical machines that converts Figure:5

sensors measure the volumetric water
content in soil.
