Gesture Controlled Wireless Agricultural Weeding Robot

Automated processes in the field of agriculture have become more and more reliable and efficient. There are many difficulties faced when manpower is used. It is time-consuming and becomes tedious. Robotic systems integrated with various control methods can be very useful in doing repetitive work, such as seed sowing process where the same movement is continuous. Previous weed removal robots included optical image sensing which makes the system more costly. Our robot is cost-effective which eliminates optical sensors. In this project, we have developed a Trainable-automatic robot which helps in removing unwanted weed on agricultural fields using gesture to control a three-axis robotic arm to do the necessary work. The arm is placed on a rover which is controlled Wirelessly using Bluetooth. The arm is taught to do the repetitive motion with a gesture using a hand glove to do the necessary work. The setup of the rover with attached the robotic arm is tested and evaluation under normal environmental conditions.
