Abstract – Agriculture is world’s largest sector where
researchers dose a nice and excellent work in agriculture sector. They all have created multiple agricultural automation equipment’s which are human less. But potential cost of that equipment’s is also high. Robotics plays very important role in innovation. We can reduce the work of human by using robotic technology. As we know Israel is world power in agriculture sector because of their research in different agriculture cultivation equipment’s. They have introduced smart gadgets in agriculture. If we think about innovation in agriculture sector, we first have to study earlier researches of innovators. Where they have created robots, irrigation systems, irrigation water pump controllers, smart harvesters, smart multipurpose attachments for tractors. Here in India situation is different, maximum of farm work is done by manual process. As we know farming have different stages like soil preparation, Seed sowing, manuring, irrigation, Weeding, harvesting and storage. This all process needs to be automated for increasing production speed and quality. But no one serve their focused together on maximums process. In India soil preparation, seed sowing, Manuring processes are done by manual process where they use bag pack sprayers for manuring process. This process is easy and spraying pesticide and chemical by using bag pack sprayer is quite easy, efficient, and less costly. But it comes with multiple draw backs, as we know chemical are dangerous for human but in India farmers and farm workers never take the precaution during manuring process. They only follow few safeties instruction like wear masks, hand glows and during mixing stay away from chemical. But at the end of they have to carry that bag pack on their back and during spraying the pesticide the chances of getting contamination of harmful chemicals are high. To solve this kind of issues we have created multipurpose customized agriculture pesticide sprayer robot.
millions and trillions of people do farming for their Daly Live hood. world’s largest population use to do farming for earning money. To fulfill the daily needs of people, farmers have to increase the crop productivity, amount of production and many more improvements. For that numbers of researchers and innovators are doing too many innovations in agricultural automation system. Day by day they all are improving the existing systems to increase the productivity. They all are making smart changes in agricultural equipment’s. As compare to other countries India is facing different kind of problem’s, 58% of Indian population use to do farming as a primary source of live hood and it plays vital role in Indian economy. Where 20% of Indian farmers live below poverty line and they can’t afford smart systems in their farms. Because of this we have created low-cost solution for farmer. We have created a smart customized agriculture pesticide sprayer robot with multifunctionality approach using advance ARM Dule core processor. We can operate this robot by using customized regional language application to help illiterate farmers and farm workers. Our system support multifunctionality like, pesticide sprayer, weed cutter, seed sowing, drip irrigation and night vision lamps.

1. INTRODUCTION The aim of our article/paper is to serve focus of people on our research work. But before writing about our work and research first we have to know about ground reality of India and oversize agricultural sector. As we know the growing global demand for food will be a major challenge for agriculture, together with the necessity to support the emergence of technologies able to meet environmental and ethical standards, also promoting efficiency and healthy work environments. In horticulture and agriculture, research and projects on automatic driverless vehicles and autonomous tractors started in the early 1960s. Where in India situation is different. All across the India 58% of people use to do farming among them 20 % of farmers live below the poverty rate. In the name of technical devices, the only can afford basic equipment’s which is available under few thousands’ Indian rupees. On other side numbers of

Our robot is going to cover multiple process of farming, during the design of our robot we have worked on multiple process of farming like Seed sowing, Manuring, Irrigation and weed cutting. Our customize agriculture pesticide sprayer robot have this all facilities. Our robot has weed cutter system with it we can perform drip irrigation. Very important and necessary feature of our robot is that, it can carry fifteen litters of pesticide and we can spray it by using flexible fog spray nozzle’s. We can increase and decrease the Hight of the nozzle’s as per requirement to spray pesticide on crop of different Hight. Spray Ro support Seed sowing
