important economic activity. In India agriculture is an essential occupation. With the advancement of science and up to date technologies, the eyes of scientists are getting directed towards two fields – Farming and Robotics System. But the mix of these two technologies can serve efficiently for several problems by overcoming the limitation of previous technologies. Farmbot for one-stop multifunctional farming solution is a robot designed for agricultural purposes. It is designed to minimize the labor of farmers in addition to increasing the speed and accuracy of the work. It performs the elementary functions involved in farming i.e., sowing of seeds, irrigation temperature sensing. This project is to develop a robot capable of performing operations like automatic seed sowing, fertilization, and water sprinkling. Additionally, to the present, obstacle detection and image processing is included. The aim to develop this device is that it can automatically control agricultural operations. The images of crop are captured using camera on robot and recorded in a memory card which is later run using artificial intelligence to detect any diseases in the crop

1. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is humankind’s oldest and still important economic activity. Farmers today spend a lot of money on machines that help them decrease labor work and increase yield of crops. There are various machines that are available for ploughing, harvesting, spraying pesticides etc., however these machines have to be manually operated to perform the required operations and moreover separate machines are used for every function. The yield and profit returns from employing this equipment are very less as compared to the investment. Another issue is the growing demands of the world’s population. The World Health Organization estimates that Earth’s population will touch 9 billion in 35 years which will lead to a staggering demand in increase of growth of food crops. Developing technology can be used as a measure to assist the farmers in farming. Robotics and automation can play a significant role in enhancing agricultural production needs. Automation can be done by man in operations such as pruning thinning and harvesting,
