Robot farmer, sensor, scotch yoke mechanism, solarAbstract
Now-a-days every field is heading towards automation, whereas agricultural field is still an exception. Current scenario says many countries do not have enough farmers to cultivate lands and even in India there are lots of families that are lacking an able member to toil during harvesting period. To overcome this problem, a robot farmer is the optimum solution. The objective of this research is to design a robot farmer which can work in the crop-fields for automatically cutting and placing crops aside. It will reduce the necessity of man-operated machineries. The total design of this robot farmer consists of 4 motors, a sensor, and an Micro_controller board. This research work will be helpful for the researchers who are interested to introduce automation in the agricultural sector and who want to perform any smooth cutting operation which requires holding of an object before cutting.
