GPS-Guided Agricultural Seeding Robot

Problem statement

Farmers often face challenges in maintaining equal spacing and depth while planting seeds manually. This affects crop growth and yield. A robot that autonomously plants seeds at uniform distances can improve agricultural efficiency.

Abstract

The robot uses GPS positioning to navigate a farm plot in straight lines. A seed dispensing mechanism releases seeds at programmed intervals. The robot adjusts direction using compass and motor feedback. This system improves precision agriculture practices.

Components required

• GPS Module (NEO-6M)
• Compass Module (HMC5883L)
• ESP32 / Arduino
• Seed Dispenser (Servo-controlled)
• Chassis and Motors

Working

The GPS module provides the robot’s position. The robot follows predefined lanes. At fixed distances, a servo rotates to release seeds. The robot continues until the plot is fully covered.

Applications

• Precision farming
• Seed planting automation
• Large-scale agriculture
• Smart farming research
