Development of Electrically Powered Multi Purpose Agro Bot

This book chapter forecasts of global population growth demand the development of efficient, safe, and eco-friendly manufacturing methods, including in agriculture. The smart farm concept, inspired by industrial innovation, is gaining momentum with the integration of advanced technologies. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are now key components of modern agriculture, helping improve crop quality and reduce labor costs. This project presents the development of a Bluetooth-controlled, electrically powered, multi-purpose agro bot capable of ploughing, watering, UV-based pest control, automatic seeding, and harvesting small fruits using a camera-assisted robotic arm. Test results show the bot efficiently navigates small obstacles and performs farming tasks, offering a low-cost, locally built solution to reduce manual labor.
