Agriculture is becoming a significant sector all over the world due to its increasing population. Improvement in farming productivity and quality of the methods in farming is the challenges found in the agricultural sector without manual involvement in monitoring process. The fulfillment of this process reduces the possibility of food demand. The other major concern in this sector is climate change. In this project, cultivation is carried out automatically without involving man power using robot system. By reducing the man power and time, we can able to increase productivity rate. Web camera is fixed on the robotic set up to monitor the agricultural field. We have designed an autonomous robot for agriculture using real time condition. We are analyzing the field parameters like soil Moisture. The raspberry pi will sense the soil moisture condition using the sensor that is interfaced with it. The raspberry is programmed to ON/OFF the DC motor based on the moisture sensor input for automatic irrigation. The autonomous robot can also be controlled in a specific direction through the instructions given in the webpage. By giving the command on the webpage, the respective DC motor will works and the fertilizer will be sprayed on the field. PIR Sensor is interfaced with raspberry pi to detect the motion in order to safeguard the crops. Raspberry pi is also interfaced with rainfall sensor to measure the amount of rainfall and it will indicate an alert message to the farmer regarding the excess rainfall.
