Agricultural Domain Monitoring and Controlling Mobile Robot

Abstract
It is an automated agricultural mobile robot designed and developed to monitor and control various parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity and soil moisture. The microcontroller used for this work is AT89s51 which belongs to the family of 8051 microcontrollers. Humidity sensor, temperature sensor, light sensor, and soil moisture sensor are four sensors used in this work to measure various parameters that contribute to monitoring the environment. In the designed prototype, soil moisture content was measured for three different types of soils which are Loam soil, Clay soil and Sandy soil (these three soils are widely used for agricultural purposes, which is the reason why they were used in this work), a LCD-display was used to observe the recorded values of these soils. This particular designed prototype will help reduce the manual efforts of the farmers and give the optimal values of the parameters.
