The agriculture sector demands significant labor and resources, leading farmers to adopt automation. However, agricultural robots remain costly and complex, slowing adoption. Conventional pesticide spraying poses health risks and causes waste. To address this, a low-cost agricultural robot is developed to monitor crops and spray fertilizers and pesticides. The prototype includes a wheeled robot, spraying mechanism, wireless controller, and camera for crop health analysis. While its coverage is slightly lower than manual labor, it significantly reduces labor costs and resource wastage. With extended battery life, it ensures efficient operation. Future enhancements include full autonomy via rail- or line-following technology.
