III. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Water Pump:
Connected to the NodeMCU, the water pump
plays a vital role in the process by dispensing water or
fertilizer solution onto the farm land. Its function is
crucial for effectively watering and spraying fertilizers
so that seeds get proper nourishments for growth.
Solar panels:
It play a crucial role in powering agricultural
robots. By harnessing sunlight, they generate electricity
that charges the robot’s batteries. This sustainable

purposes. It could consist of a water tank, a pump,
and a network of pipes or hoses with sprinklers or
drippers. The Node MCU activates the pump to
distribute water as needed based on pre-defined
parameters or user commands.
5. Ploughing Mechanism:
The bot is equipped with a ploughing mechanism
for soil preparation. This could be a rotating blade
or a set of tines that till the soil. The Node MCU
engages this mechanism when needed, directing
the bot to plough the designated area of the field.
6. Seed Dispenser:
To plant seeds, the agricultural bot features a seed Fig. 2 : Agricultural bot
dispenser. This could be a hopper that holds the
seeds and a mechanism for releasing them onto the
soil. The Node MCU controls the seed dispenser,
ensuring seeds are planted at the correct intervals
and depths.
