2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The project is designed with
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 machine reduces the efforts as well as increasing the easy way of sowing the seeds and soil testing process.The seed sowing process is carried out with the help of agrobot using PIC16F877 microcontroller and is programmed to sow the seed by maintaining the distance.The agrobot is powered with the help of solar energy using solar activation system.In order to increase productivity, an agrobot has been designed for seed sowing, obstacle detection and irrigation process in an automatic manner.The obstacles are detected with the help of ultrasonic sensor and digged out using digging process.The soil conditions also checked with the help of moisture sensor and pH sensor.The movement of the agrobot is monitores with the help of the optical.The.methodology.includes the soil monitorization using LabVIEW.GSM technology is used to communicate with the farmers for passing the information through SMS.
