Simulated Design of an Autonomous Multi-terrain Modular Agri-bot

Agriculture is the largest engine of economic growth in Bangladesh, providing food for almost half of the population. Fungal diseases in agriculture have a strong influence on producers’ livelihoods. To address this major worry, simulated design of an agriculture robot is presented in this research paper. The primary goal of this initiative was to improve competency in manufacturing agricultural grains, which will eventually lessen food shortages in Bangladesh while saving human labor, time, and money. All structural designs in this study were created in Autodesk Fusion 360 and then implemented in the Webots simulator. Proteus 8.9 Professional was used to model electrical circuits and decision processes, while MATLAB Simulink was used to accomplish a portion of the simulation. The key decision and control system for the entire system is a microcontroller. Irrigation, seed planting, excavating, leveling, automated ploughing, harvesting operation, and obstacle distance assessment are all possible with this designed robot. The simulation data, findings, and limitations were all observed. Based on the results, it is feasible to conclude that this farm robot can effectively enhance efficiency when compared to human labor. As a result of this combined design, Using IoT infrastructure, the operator can carry out several farming activities quite conveniently. The study offered a comprehensive perspective of the prototype architecture that demonstrated how well the farm robot’s functions.
