ARDUINO BASED SEED SOWING
AGRICULTURE ROBOT

4. Introduction
Motivation
• The use of IoT technology in agriculture can lead to improved crop yield and
reduced labour costs. By automating the process of seed sowing, farmers can save time and
focus on other tasks, such as irrigation and pest control. Additionally, the data collected by
the robot's sensors can be used to optimize crop growth and reduce water and fertilizer
usage, leading to more sustainable farming practices. The proposed IOT-based seed sowing
robot using Arduino technology has the potential to revolutionize agriculture by increasing
efficiency, reducing labour costs, and improving crop yields. As the technology continues
to evolve, we can expect to see more innovative applications of IoT in agriculture that will
further improve the sustainability and productivity of farming practices.
•This project focuses on the development of a sowing seed ag-robot using the Arduino
microcontroller board. The ag-robot is designed to sow seeds accurately and efficiently,
reducing the time and effort required for manual sowing. The use of Arduino
microcontroller board enables the ag-robot to perform precise and accurate sowing, making
it a valuable tool in modern agriculture. This Project describes the design, development,
and testing of the sowing seed ag-robot, highlighting its potential benefits and applications
in agriculture.

8. Methodology
Step 1: Assemble the Hardware - First, assemble all the hardware components
of the ag-robot, including the DC motors, 1 relay, motor driver,
ATmega328,wheels, servo motor, cutter, Bluetooth module, and ultrasonic
sensor. - Connect the motors, sensors, and other components to the Arduino
according to the circuit diagram.
Step 2: Program the Arduino - Write the program code for the Arduino Mega
using the Arduino IDE or any other programming software. - Include the
necessary libraries for the components used in the project. - Define the pins
for each component and configure them as inputs or outputs.
Step 3: Control the DC Motors - Use the motor driver to control the movement
of the ag-robot. - The DC motors are used to drive the wheels and to control
the cutter for sowing the seeds. - Use the servo motor to control the angle of
opening valve of seeding bucket.

9. •Step 4: Use Ultrasonic Sensor for Obstacle Detection - Use the ultrasonic
sensor to detect obstacles in front of the ag-robot. - The sensor sends out
ultrasonic waves and detects the time it takes for the waves to bounce back. -
Based on the time taken, the Arduino can calculate the distance of the
obstacle and turn the ag-robot away from it.
•Step 5: Control the Bluetooth Module - Use the Bluetooth module to
control the ag-robot remotely. - Connect the module to the Arduino
and use a mobile phone or any other device to send commands to the
ag-robot. - The Arduino can receive the commands and control the
motors and other components of the ag-robot accordingly.
•Step 6: Test and Debug the System - After completing the
programming and hardware assembly, test the ag-robot system. -
Check for any errors or bugs and debug them accordingly. - Once the
system is working correctly, deploy the ag-robot in the field for
sowing seeds.

11. Conclusion
In each complete rotation of rotating wheel there is seeds falls from this seed
drum and seed plantation process taken place smoothly and without wastage
of seeds. The sowing disc is rotate in the seed chamber, the seeds are falls in
the seed chamber through seed storage tank. The seed buckets are collect the
seeds from the chamber and it sow in the ground as required depth with the
help of plough. Also the any obstacle comes in front of seed sowing machine
the ultrasonic sensor are detect that obstacle and indicate the buzzer.
Future Scope: The project can be improved with reference to the number of
arms we are using in order to sow the seed. We can extend up to 6 or 8 rows
at a time. This reduces the time required for seed sowing. The system can be
further modified by one or many systems can be monitored through GSM
system. .
