Overview

About the Project

The Automated Seed Planting Robot is a low-cost, autonomous agricultural machine designed to reduce manual labor for small-scale farmers. It automatically performs the entire planting sequence without human assistance, including digging holes, dropping seeds, covering them with soil, and watering the planted seeds

Controlled by an Arduino microcontroller and powered by a 12V battery, the robot utilizes DC gear motors for movement and servo motors for the mechanical planting arms. It safely navigates using ultrasonic sensors, providing a highly efficient, uniform, and affordable planting solution

Features

What It Does

⛏️
Automated Digging

Uses a servo-driven mechanism to dig small, uniform holes at consistent intervals

🌱
Precise Seed Dropping

Employs a servo-controlled dispenser to accurately release a single seed into each hole with precise spacing

⛰️
Soil Covering

Utilizes a dedicated servo arm to automatically push soil over the planted seed

🚿
Targeted Watering

Activates a 12V mini water pump via a relay to supply adequate moisture directly to the newly planted seed
