Abstract— The design of FPGA based soil irrigation robot
Agricultural development is seen as a prerequisite for developing countries from a traditional economy to a modern one. Almost all farmers still depend on farming methods. We see that the yield of plants and fruits does not increase at all. The farmer has a lot of trouble while watering the fields. These problems will be solved by making an irrigation plan. By doing this we can increase the yield and quality of the plants. With this a new plan was proposed in this paper to improve the irrigation system. Smart robot is presented based on FPGA.
is proposed. Smart Soil Moisture Sensing & Automatic Water Irrigation Robot is a FPGA based robotic vehicle which uses various sensors for automatic operations such as movement, obstacle avoidance, soil moisture sensing, and water irrigation. This simulation is done on Xilinx software with Spartan 3.

INTRODUCTION
II. Smart Soil Moisture Sensing & Automatic Water Irrigation Robot is a FPGA based robotic vehicle which uses various sensors for automatic operations such as movement, obstacle avoidance, soil moisture sensing, and water irrigation. A basic requirement common to all living organisms is water. Less than 1% of the world's water supply is clean and water use is increasing daily. Farming methods alone require a lot of water. The drip method improved the efficiency of water use for irrigation and initiated the introduction and development of fertilizer, integrated distribution of water and fertilizer. Over the past few decades there has been extensive research into the development and testing of various technologies available to measure / measure soil moisture to assist in various uses and to facilitate the use of drip irrigation for users and farmers.
The design of soil irrigation robot based on FPGA is proposed.The robot can detect the obstacle by use of distance sensor.If the obstacle is detected then the motor M1 and M2 output is off. It is possible by making the output pin low othewise it is high. Soil moisture sensor is used to detect the moisture level in the soil.If the required moisture level reach then the sensor provides the logic high to FPGA pin. Once it detect the logic high value to the particular pin which is input pin of FPGA then the outpins of FPGA gives logic 1 which result turn on the relay.As the relay turn on which results to turn on the M3 motor which is nothing but the DC 5 volt submersible pump.Also if any obstacle detected infront of the distance sensor the sensor will give the output to the input pin of FPGA and the fpga gives low output to the enable pin/ input pin of motor driver ic results to stop the motor.The details are given below.
Agriculture has played a major role in promoting human civilization but we know that agriculture is highly dependent on the climate which is why climates such as droughts, floods, etc. This is due to the lack of drought which results in loss of yield and on the other hand the loss of yield in the heavily irrigated area is due to water availability. To avoid such losses in productive water management should be required. So, a well-designed irrigation system is needed to properly distribute water to the field. The system must be environmentally friendly and distribute the water in an irrigated irrigation system which means that water is supplied to those areas of the field where it is needed to prevent water wastage and to provide good water management in the field. India has an important history. Planting of plants is very necessary for the survival of the human species. India is well known for its agricultural activities. It plays an
