Design and Implementation of an Automated Seed Sowing Robot with Precision Irrigation and Environmental Monitoring for Smart Farming

In this paper, a concept of an automated seed sowing robot with applications in smart farming that has precision irrigation and environment monitoring will be described. The key components of the robot include, an Arduino Nano microcontroller, motor driver modules, Bluetooth, and environmental sensors for seed sowing, watering and monitoring temperature and humidity among others. The application of the Above solution have altogether enhanced farming productivity, lowered labour, and advised right placement of seeds and timely irrigation which depend on the climate conditions. It was evident and very clear from the experiment results that the seed dispensing mechanism is very accurate and the irrigation system works efficiently only delivering water while at the same time conserving a lot of it. Also, the current temperature and humidity are displayed and recorded in real-time and sent to a mobile application to help farmers in determining the conditions of the fields. Based on the details presented in this paper, the proposed system has great prospect to revolutionaries small-scale farming practices and equally contribute to the advancement of precision agriculture at the same time.
