Abstract: In this robot the main condition is we use a camera for

image processing techniques to find the colour of the leaves and spray the fertilizer according to it. The robot can also seed the agricultural area with an automatic seed dispenser which is attached in this robot itself. The main movements of the robot are controlled externally with a android device or any other external medium. The advantages of this robot is it is not connected to any computer or medium for image processing. The image processing is embedded in the processor itself. These kind of projects can reduce the work of people in agricultural areas

Existing system

• A personnel computer is used to processing the data from web camera.

INTRODUCTION

• Autonomous agricultural robots could protect human workers from the harmful

effects of handling chemicals by hand.

• Robots are used to diagnose the plant nutrient deficiencies by leaf image processing.

• To improve production efficiency.

• Plant nutrient deficiency diagnosis is replaced by digital image processing instead of

human eye.

Advantages

Raspberry Pi is as small as the size of a credit card, it works as if a normal computer at a relatively low price.

Low power consumption No moving parts NO noise Built in HDMI capable graphics

disadvantages

• RAM not upgradable • Demands knowledge of Linux• Limited out-of-the-box performance

MONITORING• Here we use Moisture sensor and wireless Camera

module.• Moisture sensor is used to sense the dampness of the

soil.• Wireless Camera module transmits the signal to

several hundreds of meters.• It transmits the electromagnetic wave signal in

millivolts range .• Wireless Composite video Receiver has a antenna ,

signal processing blocks ,Audio and Video amplifier blocks.

SEEDING MECHANISM

• Here we prick two to three holes in a seed container which is attached with a motor.

• This motor action is based on the command given via raspberry pi.

• The raspberry pi helps us to perform manual and automatic operation with motor.
