Robotics Based Irrigation System
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryAutomation of farm activities can transform agricultural domain from being manual and static to intelligent and dynamic leading to higher production with lesser human supervision. An automated irrigation system has been proposed to optimize water use for agricultural crops. We will develop an irrigation system that will irrigate the field in acres. We will make a robot that will be powered by photo-volatic panels. The robot will be wirelessly controlled through an App. Different sensors and a high pixel camera will be attached with our robot that will check the condition of crops and sense the condition of our soil. The field will be divided into different sectors. Our robot will go through all sectors and sense the condition of our soil that will further send the data through GSM module to our phone. We will also develop an App along with GSM module that will communicate the information to the PC/Laptop.
Project ObjectivesThe aim of this project is develop a system which works through automation and spray the field that kills pesticides. Our system will also capture the condition of crops through a high pixel camera. We are going to develop a robot that will irrigate the maximum amount of field at a time.
Project Implementation MethodWe are going to develop a Robot which will be wirelessly controlled. Our device will be powered by Photo-Volatic panels that will integrate Bluetooth module with arduino Uno which will be further connected to mobile app. A command to motor will be sent through mobile using an android application. The movement of robot in four dimensions will be carried out using this phenomena. Sensors (humidity sensor, ph level sensor, optical transducer sensor etc) kit will be attached with our robot, that will dip through motors. Optical transducer sensor will detect the nutrients present in the soil. The data will be sent to arduino then to GSM module which will further send the data to mobile app.
A high pixel camera will also be attached with our robot. The purpose of this camera is to check the condition of crops through image processing. We will set two pipe lines in every two areas that will move along 3600 . One pipe line is for irrigation and one pipe line is for spray that will kill the pesticides in the field. The nutrients container will be attached to irrigation pipe line when our system will show the deficiency of nutrients in the soil we will give the command and the nutrients will be mixed in soil through irrigation. Our device will irrigate the maximum area at a time. We will divide the area into different phases, and then will give the command to robot through an app to move through all phases one by one.
Benefits of the Project- Irrigates the maximum amount of field as much as we want (remotely) .
- To capture the condition of crops through a high pixel camera.
- To add the soil nutrients through irrigation pipe line.
- To spray the field that kills pesticides/insects.
- Is robotics based.
- Develop an app along with GSM module.
1. To develop a robotic based irrigation system which will help the farmer during irrigation.
2. Apply engineering skills and engineering knowledge learnt during bachelors.
3. To make a user friendly system which will help the farmer to control the schedule of watering crops.
4. The major objective is to make it economical and low in cost.
5. To minimize the water wastage and use water according to requirements.
6. To detect the soil nutrients (NPK) rather than by giving their samples to laboratory.
7. Grow the importance of team work.
