Abstract

This system deals with the exposition of how robotics is applied to varied fields of agriculture. One amongst the foremost important professions in a developing country like India is agriculture. It’s important to boost the efficiency and productive capacity of agriculture by replacing labourers with intelligent solar-powered machines like robots using the newest technologies. The system proposes a brand new attempt to substitute humans in diverse agricultural operations like detection of the presence of pests, spraying of pesticides, spraying of fertilizers, etc. thereby providing safety to the farmers and accurate agriculture. The evolved system includes plotting a prototype that uses simple cost-effective equipment like microprocessors, solar panels, wireless, different motors and terminal equipment which helps the farmers in numerous crop field activities. The most feature of this method is Electrostatic spraying. This application is adopted in crop defence to stop pest infestation, to increase product quality and to expand yield. It includes a superposition of charges to pesticide spray droplets to draw in substrate ions at unseen surfaces. The droplets wraparound effect decreases off-course deposition, expands on-course spray and invariably improves spray productivity. Electrostatic spraying system works productively at the best suitable parameters in union with charging voltages, spraying height arrangement, application pressures, flow rate, travel speed, electrode material, and nozzle orientation.
