Controll Robot for Spraying Pesticides

Project Title

Controll Robot for Spraying Pesticides

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

As we are well known that Pakistan is an agricultural country and major part of its economy is based on agriculture. But farmer in our country faces many problems during their work. One of major difficulties in farming is to spray pesticides manually in farms. While spraying pesticides farmer gets different diseases because of their direct exposure to pesticides. It is very much difficult for person to carry heavy tanks and walk inside fields due to which farmer gets very much tired. This problem is major cause for less growth rate of crops.

Our robot will be used for spraying in almost all types of fields. This will facilitate farmers by providing them pesticides free environment. Farmer will have less interaction with pesticides which is better for their health. This will also help in better growth rate of crops because it gives greater output by providing less input. Our robot will be cheaper as compared to other robots which are being used for this purpose. 

Project Objectives

Objectives of our projects are

• Facilitate farmers by providing them pesticides free environment.
• Farmer will have less interaction with pesticides which is better for their health.
• This will also help in better growth rate of crops because it gives greater output by providing less input.
• This will attract market because it will cause   transformation in agricultutre field.

Project Implementation Method

Our project is dependent on two main parts

• Robot
• Remote Control

The Remote is user interface tool which mean user will interact with device with help of this remote while robot is device which consist of all essential component of project. All functioning of project is being done by robot but it required commands that are being sent from remote.

The whole project is dependent on three type of communication

• Robot Movement
• Spraying of Pesticides
• Live Streaming

Benefits of the Project

Benefits are as follows

• Very much obliged by farmer because it provide them healthy environment.
• It’s cheaper rate will be a reason for its popularity among farmers
• Facilitate farmers by providing them pesticides free environment.
• Farmer will have less interaction with pesticides which is better for their health.
•  helpful in increasing quality and quantity bothof crops because it requires less input.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

A remote controlled pesticide sprayer is used to spray through the field. This robot will be controlled by remote.

• Communication is done with help of RF module (HC-12).
• The robot will provide live streaming with help of wireless camera.

The functioning depends on two components

        1.Robot

           Robot worked as RF recipient. Robot functioning  depends on 

• Microcontroller(Control Unit)

            Arduino Mega is used as microcontroller. All type of software and Hardware interference is done with this.

• Controlled movement(Actuater)

          Movement of robot is controlled with help of Dc motors and Monster H bridges

• Video Streaming(Sensor)

            Wireless camera(IP Cam) provides live streaming.

• Spraying of Pesticides

          It consists of dc water pump, nozzle and sprayer. This pump start to Spray pesticides when it receive command through controller with help of H-Bridge(L298N).

• Power Supply

          All components require power supply so we are using 12 v rechargeable battery.

• Rf Module

             An RF module (radio frequency module) is a small electronic device used to transmit and receive radio signals between two devices. We have used HC-12 rf  module for communication.

        2.Remote

           Remote worked as RF transmitter. It consist of following

• Movement(Actuater)

          keys

          Forward           Reverse

          Right turn        Left turn

• Sprayer

           High              Medium               Low

           Start/Stop
