Design and Implementation of Seed Sowing Agricultural Robot

Agricultural is one of our most important industry for providing food, feed and fuel necessary for our survival. Certainly, robots are playing an important role in the field of agriculture for farming process autonomously. The robotics is the field which provides a scope and accomplish the given task as per the given instructions by using an electro mechanical system called as robot. In this project the problem of a farmer in sowing the seeds is taken and overcame using a fire bird v robot. Here, a DC servo motor equipped with a driller is used to dig a hole and sow the seeds using a simple wheel mechanism attached to that servo. This system uses AVR ATMEL STUDIO 4.0 and AVR Boot loader for the programming part of the robot. The AVR ATMEL STUDIO 4.0 s/w is used for writing the coding and AVR Boot loader acts as an interface between the PC and the robot. It is used for burning the coding from PC to a robot. The ATmega 2560 is used to control the servo action and monitor the process of motion of the robot by using a pair of DC geared motors. A field for sowing the seeds is planned and the seeds are sowed accordingly with defined spaces between them. The result of the implemented unit is also presented.
