AgriMitra - An Autonomous Smart Robo Farmer

Aarush Patel | Dhwani Bansal

Abstract: This paper presents the development of AGRIMITRA, an autonomous smart agricultural robot designed to address the pressing challenges faced by Indian farmers, including labor shortages, lack of soil testing knowledge, increasing wages, seed wastage, and excessive water usage. In the backdrop of these issues and the alarming rate of farmer suicides, Agrimitra emerges as a technological beacon, aiming to revolutionize traditional farming practices. The robot is equipped with advanced features such as soil moisture sensing, temperature and humidity sensors, an MQ2 smoke detection sensor, and rainwater sensors, enabling efficient resource utilization and informed decision - making. Additionally, it performs labor - intensive tasks like ploughing, seed sowing, and weed cutting. This innovation not only promises to enhance productivity but also aims to alleviate the hardships of farmers, potentially mitigating the tragic trend of farmer suicides in India.
