Abstract

Agriculture is the most important occupation in a developing country like India. It is important to improve the efficiency and productivity of agriculture by replacing laborers with intelligent robots using the latest technologies. This paper surveys the hardware details and the implementation of the pesticide spraying robot by various researchers to provide a consolidated report in framing the cost effective solution for farmers. The consolidated table will give u a quick overview about the factors needed for the implementation such as hardware, technology used and the disadvantages. The motive behind the survey is to develop a smart prototype pesticide spraying robot with cost-effective equipment like microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and terminal equipment's so that it is accessible to all farmers across the country prevent farmers from hazardous chemicals used in pesticides, reduce labor costs, and increase efficiency in agricultural practices.
