Abstract
Agribot is a robot made specifically for agricultural farming. As one of the trends of the 21st century in the development of automation and intelligence of agricultural machinery, all kinds of agricultural robots have been researched and produced to carry out different agricultural productions in different countries. Agricultural production will need to double by 2050 to feed the world's growing population, according to a new study. The goal is to reduce the work of farmers and at the same time to accelerate and improve the quality of work. Agribot carries out the basic farming chores, such as cultivating the soil, scattering seeds, and covering the seeds with soil. The autonomous robot has the ability to switch the ploughing mechanism on and off as needed. The Raspberry Pi minicomputer is utilized to operate and observe the robot's operation and to detect weeds in the field. The objective is to build and operate an agribot that can quickly and automatically navigate through any type of field environment while carrying a robotic arm. The suggested system calls for the agribot to move throughout the farm while dodging impediments along its route. Ultrasonic sensors are placed on the four sides of the robot to do this. If an obstruction is found, the robot will alter its course by turning to the right or left until there is a clear path or no additional obstructions in front. Despite the fact that this project was created with just one user in mind, it has the potential to be modified to accommodate both small and big size farms in the future.
