Abstract

India's agricultural sector plays a vital role in contributing to a significant portion of the country's GDP. However, it faces significant challenges such as water scarcity and escalating labor costs. To address these issues, the implementation of agriculture task automation is crucial, as it promotes precision agriculture. Taking into account India's abundant sunlight, this paper focuses on outlining the design and development of an IoT-based solar-powered Agribot. This innovative solution aims to automate irrigation tasks and facilitate remote farm monitoring, thereby offering potential resolutions to the aforementioned challenges. The Agribot, powered by an Arduino microcontroller, incorporates innovative features to optimize its functionality. It efficiently harnesses solar power during non-irrigation periods, ensuring sustainable operation. Additionally, the Agribot functions as an IoT device, utilizing a Wi-Fi link to transmit the collected sensor data to a remote server. At the remote server, the raw data undergoes a series of signal processing operations, including filtering, compression, and prediction. These operations refine and enhance the data, enabling more accurate analysis. The analyzed data statistics are then presented through an interactive interface, which can be accessed by users upon request. This interface provides valuable insights into the farm's irrigation status and allows users to make informed decisions based on the data presented.
