GPS Based Autonomous Ground Vehicle for Agricultural Utility

Farming is a tedious job when carried out manually. With the advent of technology, various researches are done in this field. The innovative idea is to automate the process of seed sowing, to reduce the human labour and to increase the speed with consistent quality. The unmanned mobile robots are employed to serve this purpose. The location of the Autonomous Ground Vehicle in a vast area can be tracked with the help of GPS, and its position can be monitored through a remote device. A prototype has been designed for precise seed sowing process. The inter-seed distance is maintained by the use of servomotor. The vehicle is controlled by ATMEGA328 microcontroller. The direction of the path to be followed is deduced by using a compass module. Speed and accuracy have been the areas of concern while designing the system.
