This week was amazing for our newly started project work.

We really enjoyed
each and every minute while constructing the physical layout of the proposed
Agribot. We decide, our aim is to fabricate a Prototype Multi-Purpose
Agricultural Robot which can perform the following functions:

This project objective is to fabricate a robot vehicle which can dig the soil,
put the seeds, and close the mud and to spray water, these whole systems of the
robot works with the battery and the solar power.

To reduce human effort in the agricultural field with the use of small robot.

To perform all 4 operations at single time, hence increases production and

saves time.

To complete large amount of work in less time.

Farmer can operate this robot through remote by sitting at one side and he can
operate easily.

The usage of solar can be utilized for Battery charging. As the Robot works in
the field, the rays of the sun can be used for solar power generation.

To increase the efficiency, the solar power is used and the Power output can be
increased.

Moreover we will give examples of the economic potential of applying

autonomous robotic vehicles compared to conventional systems. Focus will be
put on potential labor cost savings, farm structure implications and sizes for
operation, daily working hours, potential environmental impact, energy costs
and safety issues.

The basic part of our mobile agribot (if we generalized)

1. Chassis

2. Locomotion system

3. Power supply system

4. Actuators

5. Sensory devices for feedback

6. Sensor data processing unit

7. Control system

We started working with chassis part first. Somehow we manage to buy a piece
of cast iron block through some local reference. Initially, it was not in required
shape, what we can use directly for the project. Material removal process is not
easy to do practically. By using machining process finally we removed some
excess materials. Here also we followed some steps before removal. Using
regular scale marked the block we actually wanted by using pencil. We marked
1cm extra in every possible direction we really wanted. A local mechanic really
helped to obtain the required shape and size. After completed the first task we
wanted a shaper machine for finishing. After finding the machine locally, a
machine operator, processed that job in our supervision. Finally it was in
required shaped. Our guide Prof.VENKAT REDDY sir also guided lot in this
whole process. He also sheared his vision regarding this project and also
discussed how to achieve the final the product. He also sheared his view about
the actuators and other motions that can be performed by this agribot.

Not only this, we individually studied Blackmores (2007). A systems view of

agricultural robotics. Precision Agriculture conference, Wageningen Academic
Publishers, the Netherlands. pp. 23-31 to get a sound knowledge about
agriculture as well as agribot. We sheared the individual opinions about it. At
the very end of the week we also discussed about removing the roller part which
was located at the rear part of the agribot. We also discuss characteristics

Of the dc motors as well as the servo motors (dc motor within built feedback &
error compensation).we found any one can be used for our agribot. Because of
economic condition we decided to go with dc motor. But there was bit conflict
about its certain characteristic. This time we also proposed a new name of our
product and that was SMART SERVO AGRIBOT.

In conclusion, we really enjoyed our work and interactive session with local
machine operators this week under the guidance of Prof.VENKAT REDDY sir.
