Abstract
The plant needs to be watered regularly, human intervention is necessary to provide water to the plant. In this paper, an Automatic Irrigation System using robotic vehicle with Arduino development board is modeled. In this Plant Watering System, soil moisture sensor monitors the moisture level in the soil and if the moisture level is low, the rain sensor is monitored, if it is raining then no function is performed and if not then Arduino switches on a water pump to provide water to the plants. Before proceeding towards a plant, the Robot will check the obstacle in its path and will trigger the Buzzer in case of any obstacle. Then the movement of the robot can be controlled remotely using Voice Command. This system is very useful in farms, gardens, home, Median Strips of highways, etc. This system is completely automated and there is no need for any human intervention. The model consists of two Modules: one placed nearby the Plant, i.e. irrigation unit; and the other is the Robot unit, which waters the plant. The communication between the two modules is done wirelessly using Bluetooth. The proposed model will help us in modernizing agriculture by reducing the expenditure, manpower, and water thus leading to enhanced profit.
