1. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is one of the important parts in our life.It plays very
important role in India’s economy.In the current generation, agriculture
is demolishing due to lack of man power as well as the natural
calamities. The traditional methods are less efficient and time
consuming.The environmental influence of agricultural production is very
much in focus and the demand to industry is increasing. Eventhough
agriculture is demolishing,at the same time technology for agriculture
is also developing with the help of automation. To overcome the
drawbacks faced by the farmers,automation in agriculture is
implemented.Automation plays very important role and it helps a lot for
developing many fields in the society.So,automation is implemented in
the agricultural field to overcome the problems faced by the farmers as
well as the people.The technology for the cultivation system is upgraded
with the help of automation.The innovation in the field of agriculture
is the very big step in our traditional life style.The improvement in
agriculture depends on the tools used for agriculture and also lessen
the burden of the farmers.In the project GSM based Agrobot with
Automatic Sun Tracking Solar Panel,a new technique is implemented with
the help of agrobot without affecting the texture of the soil and also
crop production.This project reduces the efforts of the workers and also
maintains the soil with help of the sensors.The GSM based Agrobot with
Automatic Sun Tracking Solar Panel performs a number of simultaneous
operations. As day by day, the labor availability becomes the great
concern for the farmers and labor cost is more, this project reduces the
efforts as well as increasing the easy way of sowing the seeds and soil
testing process. In order to increase productivity, an agrobot has been
designed for seed sowing, obstacle detection and irrigation process in
an automatic manner.
The main aim of the project GSM based Agrobot with Automatic Sun
Tracking solar panel is sowing the seed with the help of the agrobot and
is moved with the help of the solar energy which works on the principle
of the automatic sun tracking solar panel.The automatic sun tracking
solar panel moves on the side where there is the light source since it
has Light Dependent Resistor with the help of the servo motor.Then, the
fertility and the moisture of the soil is monitored with help of sensors
and the obstacles in the field is removed by sensing it and also
direction of the field is monitored.Then,depending upon the moisture and
fertility level which is monitored with the help of LabVIEW,water is
poured and fertilizer is sprayed.At last all the information is passed
to the farmers with the help of GSM module.
