Multipurpose Agriculture Vehicle using Arduino

Abstract

This project presents the design and development of a cost-effective, multifunctional agricultural vehicle powered by an Arduino microcontroller. In response to the growing need for efficient and adaptable machinery in modern farming, particularly for small-scale operations, this vehicle is engineered to automate key agricultural tasks such as ploughing, sowing, spraying, and harvesting. By integrating interchangeable implements and sensor-based feedback systems, the vehicle optimizes performance based on real-time environmental conditions like soil moisture and temperature. At the core of the system, the Arduino microcontroller processes data from various sensors and controls actuators to ensure precise and adaptive task execution. The paper outlines the conceptualization, mechanical and electronic integration, and functional testing of the prototype. Initial results indicate the vehicle & effectiveness in performing intended operations, demonstrating its potential to significantly reduce manual labour and enhance productivity in resource-constrained agricultural settings. Future enhancements will explore the incorporation of advanced features such as autonomous navigation, precision farming techniques, and a more intuitive user interface. This work represents a promising step toward sustainable, intelligent farming solutions tailored to the needs of smallholder farmers.
