Smart Irrigation System for Precision Farming using Agribot

Agriculture is crucial for food production, and effective irrigation is crucial for ensuring healthy crop growth. Smart Irrigation System Using Agribot is an autonomous robotic solution designed to optimize water use based on real-time soil moisture data. Built on a mobile robot platform and powered by a Raspberry Pi, the system manages movement using DC motors and avoids obstacles using an ultrasonic sensor. A servo motor inserts a soil moisture sensor into the ground, and if the moisture level is detected to be low, a relay triggers a water pump to irrigate the area. The system includes a DHT11 sensor to monitor temperature and humidity, and a pH sensor to assess soil acidity – providing critical insights for precision farming. Remotely controlled via a Bluetooth module and powered by a dedicated 12V battery, this automated system significantly reduces water wastage, increases efficiency, and reduces the need for manual intervention, making it a highly effective tool for smart and precision farming
