Design and fabrication of a mobile robot for weed removal applications in agricultural fields

Agriculture is one of the most important aspects across the globe which is also a primary task for any country to lead their economic growth and to be a healthy country. The objective of agriculture is to produce various food materials, vegetables and fruits as an outcome of the process. But to provide the outcome from agriculture is not as simple as it looks, Farmers face many issues while making the outcome and they need to work separately to overcome this problem. One of the issues faced by the farmer is the weed management. Weed Management is that the method of dominant that the expansion and removal of the weeds in timely manner. The weeds present in the fields have a major impact on the farmers in terms of their reduction in yield and loss in the capital income. In all recent surveys, it is stated that Weeds present in the field causes almost 60 to 75 percentage loss in agriculture. In order to solve this problem and to give a tentative visioned solution, this project focuses on the development of a mobile robot which can identify the weeds in the field while traversing the field and also capable of differentiating the weeds with crops and other small plants and after the identification, weeds are removed by the weed remover. Apart from removing the weeds this project can also give the small summary of the traversed agricultural land.
