  • Abstract
    Solar powered e-bot for agriculture means simple eco-friendly Agricultural Robot. E-bot for agriculture is a robot which runs on solar energy. It is a 4 wheeled unmanned vehicle which can move in a linear direction. All the units (Weed remover, Fertilizer Sprayer and Pest controller) work independently. The robot employs mobile application systems and a range of mechanical aspects to guide the robot along the rows and perform the tasks accurately. The robot has been operated by Manual control and also be used as automated machine at low cost. The manual control of the robot is achieved by Wireless Remote (RF type) which can be used for long range up to 15metres and the path of the robot is transmitted lively using wireless camera. From the video, farmer can analyze the affected plants and the extra care can be implemented in the field which entirely works on solar power.
