Abstract - The "Spider Agri-Bot: Integrated Grass Cutter and Pesticide Sprayer" is an intelligent farming device that combines three key functions: spraying pesticides, cutting grass, and measuring the pH of water. Its spider-like design allows it to move easily across various types of terrain, including uneven fields. The robot ensures even pesticide distribution, protecting crops, while also cutting grass to maintain a clean field.
IntroducingthePesticideSprayerSpiderRobot,aninnovative solutionaimedatrevolutionizingagriculturalandgardening practices. This multifunctional robot features a precise pesticidesprayingsystem,enablingtargetedapplicationthat reduces chemical usage while maximizing pest and disease control. Alongside this, it incorporates an advanced grass cutterdesignedtoefficientlytrimgrassandweeds,promoting a well-maintained landscape. The robot also includes a sophisticated pH meter, which continuously monitors water quality, providing essential information on acidity and alkalinity to ensure optimal conditions for plant growth. Its spider-likeagilityallowsitto navigate differentterrains with ease, making it ideal for both large agricultural fields and smaller gardens. By integrating these vital functions, the Pesticide Sprayer Spider Robot enhances productivity and supports sustainable practices, helping users cultivate healthier and more vibrant environments.
