Chapter-1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Agriculture
Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy and it will continue to remain
so for a long time. A man without food for three days will quarrel, for a week will fight
and for a month or so will die‖. Agriculture is a branch of applied science. Agriculture
is the science and art of farming including cultivating the soil, producing crops and
raising livestock. It is the most important enterprise in the world. Over the years,
agricultural practices have been carried out by small-holders cultivating between 2 to 3
hectare, using human labor and traditional tools such as wooden plough, yoke, leveler,
harrow, spade, big etc. These tools are used in land preparation, for sowing of seeds,
weeding and harvesting. Modem agricultural techniques and equipment’s are not used
by small land holders because this equipment’s are too expensive and difficult to
acquire. Adopting scientific farming methods, we can get maximum yield and good
quality crops which can save a farmer from going bankrupt but majority of farmers still
uses primitive method of farming techniques due to lack of knowledge or lack of
investment for utilizing modern equipment. The use of hand tools for land cultivation is
still predominant in India because tractors require resources that many Indian farmers
do not have easy access to.

The need for agricultural mechanization in India must therefore be assessed with a
deeper understanding of the small holder farmer’s activities. Sustainable improvement
in the livelihoods of poor farmers in developing countries depends largely on the
adoption of improved resource conserving cropping systems. While most of the
necessary components already exist, information on the availability and performance of

GOVERNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 6


FABRICATION OF MULTIPURPOSE 4 IN 1 AGRICULTURE ROBOTIC VEHICLE

equipment is lacking and effective communication between farmers and agricultural


research and development department is unsuccessful.

1.1.1 Main Features of Indian Agriculture

i. Source of livelihood: Agriculture is the main occupation. It provides


employment to nearly 61% persons of total population. It contributes 25% to
national income.

ii. Dependence on monsoon: Agriculture in India mainly depends on monsoon. If


monsoon is good, the production will be more and if monsoon is less than
average then the crops fail. As irrigation facilities are quite inadequate, the
agriculture depends on monsoon.

iii. Labour intensive cultivation: Due to increase in population the pressure on land
holding increased. Land holdings get fragmented and subdivided and become
uneconomical. Machinery and equipment cannot be used on such farms.

iv. Under employment: Due to inadequate irrigation facilities and uncertain


rainfall, the production of agriculture is less; farmers find work a few months in
the year. Their capacity of work cannot be properly utilized. In agriculture there
is under employment as well as disguised unemployment.

v. Small size of holdings: Due to large scale sub-division and fragmentation of


holdings, land holding size is quite small. Average size of land holding was 2 to 3
hectares in India while in Australia it was 1993 hectares and in USA it was 158
hectares.

vi. Traditional methods of production: In India methods of production of crops


along with equipment are traditional. It is due to poverty and illiteracy of people.
Traditional technology is the main cause of low production.

vii. Low Agricultural production: Agricultural production is low in India. India


produces 27 Qtrs. Wheat per hectare. France produces 71.2 Qtrs. per hectare and

GOVERNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 7


FABRICATION OF MULTIPURPOSE 4 IN 1 AGRICULTURE ROBOTIC VEHICLE

Britain 80 Qtrs. per hectare. Average annual productivity of an agricultural labour


is 162 dollars in India, 973 dollars in Norway and 2408 dollars in USA.

viii. Dominance of food crops: 75% of the cultivated area is under food crops like
Wheat, Rice and Bajra, while 25% of cultivated area is under commercial crops.
This pattern is cause of backward agriculture.

1.1.2 Major Challenges Faced by Indian Agriculture


i. Stagnation in Production of Major Crops: Production of some of the major
staple food crops like rice and wheat has been stagnating for quite some time.
This is a situation which is worrying our agricultural scientists, planners and
policy makers. If this trend continues, there would be a huge gap between the
demand of ever growing population and the production.

ii. High cost of Farm Inputs: Over the year’s rates of farm inputs have increased.
Farm inputs include fertilizer, insecticide, pesticides, HYV seeds, farm labor
cost etc. Such an increase puts low and medium land holding farmers at a
disadvantage.

iii. Soil Exhaustion: Soil exhaustion means loss of nutrients in the soil from
farming the same crop over and over again. This usually happens in the rain
forest.

iv. Depletion of Fresh Ground Water: Most of the irrigation in dry areas of
Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh was carried out by excessive use of
ground water. Today fresh ground water situation in these states is alarming. In
the coming few years if this type of farming practice continues, these states are
going to face water famine.
v. Adverse impact of Global Climatic Change: Among various challenges,
global climatic change is the recent one. It is predicted that due to climate
change, temperature would increase from 2°C to 3°C, there would be increase in
sea level, more intense cyclones, unpredictable rainfall etc. These changes would
adversely affect the production of crops.

vi. Impact of Globalization: You can see the effect of globalization on the farm
sector in India. All developing countries have been affected by it. The most
GOVERNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 8
FABRICATION OF MULTIPURPOSE 4 IN 1 AGRICULTURE ROBOTIC VEHICLE

evident effect is the squeeze on farmer ‘s income and the threat to the viability of
cultivation in India. This is due to the rising input costs and falling output prices.
This reflects the combination of reduced subsidy and protection to farmers.

vii. Providing Food Security: Before the introduction of green revolution in India,
we were not self-sufficient in terms of our food grain production. With the
introduction of green revolution, production of food grains increased
substantially and India became self-sufficient. However, during the last one
decade the total production has become stagnant. On the other hand, we have
added another 16 to 18 million populations over this period. Although India has
become self-sufficient in good it is yet to ensure food security which is
dependent upon accessibility, affordability as well nutritional value of the food
available. One of the biggest challenges facing India is Providing Food Security
to its population.

viii. Farmers Suicide: Every suicide has a multiple of causes but when you have
nearly 200,000 of them, it makes sense to seek broad common factors within that
group. The suicides appear concentrated in regions of high commercialization of
agriculture and very high peasant debt. Cash crop farmers seemed far more
vulnerable to suicide than those growing food crops. Yet the basic underlying
causes of the crisis remained untouched. Commercialization of the countryside
along with massive decline in investment in agriculture was the beginning of the
decline. Withdrawal of bank credit at a time of soaring input prices and the crash
in farm incomes compounded the problems. Shifting of millions from food crop
to cash crop cultivation had its own risks. Privatization of many resources has
also compounded the problems. The devastation lies in the big 5 States of
Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
These states accounted for two-thirds of all farm suicides during 2003-08. Some
of the major factors responsible are indebtedness, crop failure and deterioration
in economic status. Decline in social position, exorbitant charges by local money
lenders for the vulnerable farmers, chronic illness in the family, addiction etc.
have made life of farmers difficult.

1.2 Introduction of Agribot:


Now a day’s most of the countries do not have sufficient human factor in agricultural
sector and it affects the growth of developing countries. So it’s time to automate the
sector to overcome this problem. In India, 70% people depends on agriculture. So we
need to study the agriculture. Innovative idea of our Project is to automate the
process of sowing crops such as groundnut, baby corn, sunflower and so on. The
farming system like plugging, cultivating, weeding, harvesting, etc. is the different
process. All the processes are advance to modifying the mechanism in farming which
works automatically without the man power requirement. Manually seed plantation
method suffers from various problems. The tendency of manual work is going on
reducing. The man power shortage is one of the biggest problems faced continuously
to all farmers. Due to labour shortage the plantation cost should be increased. So it is
not economically beneficial for all farmers. Now a day’s instrumentation and control
system plays an important role.

So we develop a system for “seed plantation robot” using microcontroller which is


very economical and beneficial. Due to automation the work become easiest,
Errorless and it saves money also. Our system is nothing but the four tyre vehicle
which is driven by geared DC motor. According to microcontroller program, after
some distance or some time instant the seed should be dropped through the nozzle,
which is operated by relay. Nozzle size is depending on the diameter of the seed.
Same operation is repeated after some time delay. So there is no more labour work. It
gives information about weather conditions for seed plantation. Hence all the
problems of conventional method are overcome by using this system.

In the current scenario most of us have come across the atomization in various fields
as the advancement of technology has to a lead tremendous development in the
industrial products that have made our lives a lot easier and helpful than what our
ancestors faced. The advancements especially in the field of agriculture have helped
evolve a new era of development and growth of different developing countries. The
atomization in this field has been a trademark for the people who are completely
dependent on agriculture for their survival and other needs.

Accordingly, a report made says that most of the agriculture equipment’s that are
been projected in various fields, that is either by researchers or by the engineers are
practically very difficult to implement. This equipment’s made are mostly very
complex in terms of field operation or are either less efficient as they are
implemented based upon on the basic concept from the design point of view. Many
of the other devices developed based upon the concept of seed sowing and fertilizing
are either a single application devices or they are very less efficient.
As these devices are developed taking in point the present scenario in the field of
agriculture these devices are hence forth based upon the basic concept model and are
practically inefficient to implement as these are designed to work in single rows
which can be done more efficiently using manpower. Thus in order to overcome
these issues we are making an effort to develop a model which could be more
efficient when being implanted on the practical basis.

 Dia. : 25 cm
3.10 SEED SOWING /CUTTING MOTOR:
 This motor is use as a time interruption purpose because one by one side wills
down to earth side and vehicle move forward direction at same time.
 Knowing the position and severity of the weeds there are many methods that can
kill, remove or retard these unwanted plants. Different physical methods can be
used that rely on physical interaction with the weeds.
 A classic example is to break the soil and root interface by tillage and promote
wilting of the weed plants. This can be achieved in the inter row area easily by
using classical spring or duck foot tines.
 Within the close-to-crop area, tillage cannot be used as any disturbance to the
soil is likely to damage the interface between the crop and the soil.
 Intra row weeding is more difficult as it requires the position of the crop plant to
be known so that the end effectors can be steered away.

Working Principle & Advantages

4.1 Working Principle:


The basic aim of this project is to develop a multipurpose machine, which is used for
digging the soil, seed sowing, water sprayer and cutting with least changes in
accessories with minimum cost. This whole system of the robot works with the battery
and the solar power.

 The base frame is made for the robot with 3 wheels connected and driven the rear
wheel is dc motor.

 One end of the frame, cultivator is fitted which is also driven by dc motor and
design is made to dig the soil.

 Cylindrical piping arrangement is made by the sheet metal, to store the seeds and
the seeds flow through the drilled path holes on the digged soil.
GOVRNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 20
 Water pump sprayer to spray the water on the soil after sowing so that seeds receive
proper irrigation.

 At the end cutter blade is attached which is used for harvesting.

 Solar is placed on top of the robot and is connected to the battery for charging the
battery.

 Thus the max efficiency is utilized from the sun by the solar panel and to the
battery. The solar panel system is operated by solar tracker.

 It is not wireless process it uses wires for functioning of the vehicle which is
controlled by the controller board.

 The whole robot requires the 12v battery to operate the system.

 Toggle switches are used to control the operation of the vehicle.

4.2 OPERATIONS
4.2.1 Steering mechanism

 The wheel is coupled with the DC Motor.


 The power for motor is supplied by a Battery.
 The direction of motor rotation can be controlled by toggle switches for
steering the vehicle to either left or right side direction.

4.2.2 Ploughing

 The power for motor is supplied by a Battery.


 The Ploughing tool is designed in the way that it wouldn’t break due to the
sudden encounter of rocks and roots present in the soil. The faults in the
current tool is changed and modified. The designed new tool is durable and
affordable and can be used in all kinds of geographical region.
 The life of the tool is increased by replacing the only the tip of the tool. The
sharpness of the tool is remains constant for significantly longer period of
time. The efficiency and the effectiveness of the tool is increased. The

GOVRNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 21


optimum weight of the tool is obtained. The breakage of the tool is reduced
by using high speed steel in the tip. The material used for plough tool is High
Speed Steel.

4.2.3 Seed sowing

 A box is used for Seed storage.


 Funnel is present at the bottom of box which receives seeds due to gear
motion.
 The DC motor is powered by a battery which is controlled using a toggle
switch, As the motor is switched on, the gears tend to rotate which makes the
seeds fall on the cultivated field making consistent gap between seeds

4.2.4 Leveling

 A Sheet Metal Plate is used as mud closer and Leveller.


 The 1long bolt and nut is used for leveller up & down movement.
 The Leveller is not powered, instead it is fixed to required level initially.
 The leveller closes the soil in the sowed soil & levels the land.

4.2.5 WATER SPRAYING OPERATION

 A water container is used for water storage.


 A submersible pump is used for pumping water to the water sprayer. The
water flows to the sprayer through pipe.
 The power for pump is supplied by an on and off switch.
 After sowing and levelling irrigation of land is done using the sprayer system.

4.2.6 Toggle switch

 The most familiar form of switch is a manually operated electromechanical


device with one or more sets of electrical contacts, which are connected to
external circuits.
 Each set of contacts can be in one of two states: either "closed" meaning the
contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them, or "open",
meaning the contacts are separated and the switch is non-conducting.
GOVRNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 22
 The mechanism actuating the transition between these two states (open or
closed) can be either a "toggle" (flip switch for continuous "on" or "off") or
“momentary” (push-for "on" or push-for "off") type.
 A switch may be directly manipulated by a human as a control signal to a
system, such as a computer keyboard button, or to control power flow in a
circuit, such as a light switch.
 Switches may be operated by process variables such as pressure, temperature,
flow, current, voltage, and force, acting as sensors in a process and used to
automatically control a system. For example, a thermostat is a temperature-
operated switch used to control a heating process.
 A switch that is operated by another electrical circuit is called a relay.

4.3 Advantages

Different applications of autonomous vehicles in agriculture have been examined and


compared with conventional systems and are proved as efficient and effective.

 To reduce human effort in the agricultural field with the use of small robot.
 To perform all 4 operations at single time, hence increases production and saves
time.
 To complete large amount of work in less time.
 Farmer can operate this robot through remote by sitting at one side and he can
operate easily.
 The usage of solar can be utilized for Battery charging. As the Robot works in the
field, the rays of the sun can be used for solar power generation.
 To increase the efficiency, the solar power is used and the Power output can be
increased.
Moreover, we will give examples of the economic potential of applying autonomous
robotic vehicles compared to conventional systems. Focus will be put on potential
labor cost savings, farm structure implications and sizes for operation, daily working
hours, potential environmental impact, energy costs and safety issues.

Designing of Parts

AUTOCAD
AutoCAD is a commercial computer aided design and drafting software application.
Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as
a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers. Before
AutoCAD was introduced, most commercial CAD program ran on mainframe computers
or minicomputers, with each cad operator working at separate graphic terminal. Since
2010, AutoCAD released as a mobile and web app as well, marketed as AutoCAD 360.

AutoCAD is used in the industry, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic


designers, city planner and other professionals. It was supported by 750 training center
worldwide in 1994.

SOLIDWORKS
Solid works is a solid modeling computer aided design and computer aided engineering
computer program that runs on Microsoft window. Solid works is published by Dassault
Systemes.

Solid works corporation was founded in December 1993 by Massachusetts institute of


technology graduate Jon Hirschtick. Solid works currently markets several version of the
GOVRNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 24
solid works CAD software in addition to eDrawing, a collaboration tool, and Draft sight, a
2D CAD product.

MODELING TECHNOLOGY

Building a model in solid works usually starts with a 2D sketch (although 3D sketches are
available for power users). The sketch consists of geometry such as point, lines, arcs,
conics (except the hyperbola), and splines. Dimensions are added to the sketch to define
the size and location of the geometry. Relations are used to define attributes such as
tangency, parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity. The parametric nature of solid
works means that the dimension and relations drive the geometry, not the other way
around. The dimensions in the sketch can be controlled independently, or by relationships
to other parameter inside or outside of the sketch.

ASSEMBLY

In an assembly, the analog to sketch relation are mates. Just as sketch relation define
conditions such as tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with respect to sketch
geometry, assembly mates define equivalent relations with respect to the individual parts
or component, allowing the easy construction of assemblies. Solid works also includes
additional advanced mating features such as gear and cam follower mates, which allow
modeled gear assemblies to accurately reproduce the rotational movement of an actual
gear train.

Finally, drawing can be created either from parts or assemblies. Views are automatically
generated from the solid model, and notes, dimensions and tolerances can then be easily
added to the drawing as needed. The drawing module includes most paper size and
standards (ANSI, ISO, DIN, GOST, JIS, BSI and SAC).

File format

GOVRNMENT WOMEN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, AJMER 25


Solid works files (previous to version 2015) use the Microsoft structured storage file
format. This means that there are various files embedded within each SLDDRW (drawing
files), SLDPRT (part files), SLDASM (assembly files) file, including preview bitmaps and
metadata sub files.

 In this machine we used a solar panel to capture and convert solar energy into
electrical energy which in turn is used to charge a battery, which then gives the
necessary power to a shunt wound DC motor. This power is then transmitted to the
rear wheel through gear drives.
 In this project an attempt is made to make the electric and mechanical systems share
their powers in an efficient way.

6.2 Future outcome:

Today’s agriculture has transformed into a high-tech enterprise that most 20 th
century farmers might barely recognize. After all, it was only around 100 years ago
that farming in the US transitioned from animal power to robotic power. Over the
past 20 years the global positioning system (GPS), electronic sensors and other new
tools have moved farming even further into a technological wonderland.

Automatic guidance, whereby a GPS-based system steers the tractor in a much


more precise pattern than the driver is capable of is a tremendous success story.
Safety concerns currently limit completely driverless capability to smaller
machines. Fully autonomous or robotic field machines have begun to be employed
in small-scale high profit-margin agriculture such as wine grapes, nursery plants
and some fruits and vegetables.
High-throughput plant phenotyping (HTPP) is an up-and-coming precision
agriculture technology at the intersection of genetics, sensors and robotics. It is used
to develop new varieties or “lines” of a crop to improve characteristics such as
nutritive content and drought and pest tolerance. HTPP employs multiple sensors to
measure important physical characteristics of plants, such as height; leaf number,
size, shape, angle, color, wilting; stalk thickness; number of fruiting positions.
These are examples of phenotypic traits, the physical expression of what a plant’s
genes code for. Scientists can compare these measurements to already-known
genetic markers for a particular plant variety.
Our project focuses on these outcomes:

 The vehicle can be easily assembled and disassembled so that ease in


handling and carrying it.

 Will be operated by the mobile so that no need of controller.


 Installation of components for fertilization and pesticides.
 Safety equipment’s for person using it so that they will not harm themselves.
 More efficient vehicle hence increases output.
 Less cost and easy to handle technology.

Conclusion
After the manufacturing and trail on the “Multipurpose Agricultural Automobile (Farm
Machine)” conclusion made are as follows:

 Based on the overall performance of the machine we can definitely say that the
project will satisfy the need of small scale farmer, because they are not able to
purchase costly agricultural equipment.

 The machine required less man power and less time compared to traditional
methods, so if we manufacture it on a large scale its cost gets significantly reduce
and we hope this will satisfy the partial thrust of Indian agriculture.

 So in this way we can overcome the labour problem that is the need of today’s
farming in India.
