Smart Agriculture Bot Using IOT

Inspiration

In order to feed today's global population, we currently need farmland equivalent to the size of South America. Despite the exorbitant amount of land already allocated to agriculture, an estimated 815 million people worldwide still go to bed hungry each night. Moreover, the worldwide population is estimated to be 9 billion by the end of 2050. Modern-day cities in the world already contain half of the world's population, which follows that the impact of the projected surge in global population will drastically decrease the amount of habitable land to extreme levels in order to maintain modern infrastructure.Agriculture is the most important sector in the economy of our country in which nearly 60 per cent of the Indian population depends upon it.Since agricultural field is declining day by day.In this rapidly changing world already brimming with hunger and agricultural difficulties caused by lack of land, we believe that our solution with underpinnings in sustainable agriculture and artificial intelligence provides a feasible solution

Elucidation of Working Solution

In order to preserve and monitor the land IOT based robots are used.This is because nearly 90 per cent of the available resources of water are used for irrigation purpose gratuitously.This demand of water may increase in the future decade.To overcome this problem we have designed an IoT based robot named “Smart Agriculture Using Bot” that includes the use of the advanced technology of AI and LI-FI which solves all the real time problems.This project aims to reduce the use of underground water supply and it’s an idea which will replace drip irrigation system. The requirements for drip irrigation are too high like pump station, control valves, etc. These requirements cost high at the time of installation.

Smart Agricultural bot Using IOT has a smart pump, soil moisture detector, robotic arm, uses LIFI technology. The robot is operated from a distance and it has a robotic arm which carries soil moisture detector to check the moisture level of the land. When the robotic arm is operated, the soil moisture detector checks whether the plant or crop requires water or not. It gives a light signal to solar panel (LIFI TECHNOLOGY) which automatically ON’s the smart pump provided, the water is supplied to the plant. The amount of water supplied to each plant is calculated. The camera for monitoring is kept at the top for video coverage and image processing. The records are sent to databases immediately.The motion detecting sensor is kept back, if any animal or human being is close to it the buzzer beeps and gives them a alert.

• Smart Agriculture bot is placed in a part of the field it wanders around the field using AI.

• Check whether it is a tree or plant, crop or not using DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING.

• If the bot detects a tree or plant or crop which is needed to be watered then it goes near it, pins the sensor.

• Bot checks the moisture content of the soil using soil moisture detector.

• Bot gives light signal to the solar panel that ON’s the smart pump (that has been provided in the robot ) and the required amount of water is supplied to the crops.

• The amount of water supplied is calculated and updated in database.

Unique Innovation Criteria

• Bot can even work in high temperatures and pressure, and can move in denser areas the field where humans cannot go(lower oxygen areas).

• Bot helps the farmers to prevent their lands from pests which replaces the use of artificial pesticides.

• Bot promotes the use of advanced technology in the field of agricultural uses solar energy in the day time and stores energy for night time also. Usage of renewable sources of energy.

• Temperature and Humidity monitoring using Cloud Computing

• Bot measures the moisture content of the soil and irrigates only the required amount of water to the crops.This may reduce the half of the actual amount of water used for agriculture.

• Bot also works as a pest killer in which an electric field is applied or an ultrasonic pest avoid er is used that kills the insects and pests when the insects surround the crops.

• Bot also prevents the land from foreign bodies that enter the land like snakes, rats, etc.of Smart Agriculture using Bot are listed

Farmers Reaction and Updates on "Smart Agriculture bot Using IOT"

The bot also monitors weeds and removes them, rain prediction system (under process), automatic rainwater storage tanks are controlled by the bots. Crop, plant monitoring systems as well as overall monitoring of the land done by drones.The drones and the bots are connected through IOT. If any problem is noted, the drone gets the information and comes near the bot. The ultimate aim of this project will turn into reality and the result of the idea will be accomplished. When the prototype was let into the agriculture field the results were accurate and the performance as well as scalability was high. The farmers were happy and satisfied with the latest technologies in terms of security and the robot’s work, design, look.The farmers were able to understand and adopt to it quickly, they felt comfortable using it. This idea may seem to be common on an overview but its totally a different version.

AI Solution

žThe type of AI used here is purely reactive form. It is the most basic form of AI. It perceives its environment/situation directly and acts on what it observes. It can’t form memories of draw on the past experiences to affect the current situations.

Advantages of Smart Agriculture Bot Using IOT

*High accuracy *High profit *Farmers friendly *Replaces the use of artificial pesticides. *High stability *Highly secure *Eco Friendly *Complete monitoring of the land *Less power consumption

*Employment creation :Jobs for Engineers in the field of monitoring.
