A Novel Approach to Autonomous Farming Robot

Abstract

Now-a-days everyone has lost interest from farming as it has become a very difficult and tedious job. Although hi-tech vehicles and equipment have overcome older version of vehicles and equipment and also they made farming quite easy. But it still requires a plenty of human effort. Today automation has been introduced in almost every form of industry and a prominent reason to reducing human effort. Our Objective is to reduce human efforts in farming as we planned to develop an autonomous guidance system for farm vehicles. Our system will be based on Global Positioning System (GPS) [1]. To develop complete autonomous system, other than GPS, systems like machine vision, laser-based sensors, inertial sensors would be needed to be employed for avoiding obstacles in the path and overcoming other challenges. However making such systems would require more time and monetary resources then available, hence developing such complete autonomous system is out of scope of the current task at hand. Our aim is to develop a Mixture of such complete autonomous system which will fulfill one of the Basic needs of a complete autonomous guidance system.
