Robotic Arm Vehicle for Planting

The advancement in Robotics technology has opened up new possibilities in many fields such as manufacturing, medical, industrial and defence. As agriculture labour becomes increasingly costly and scarce, we can displace workers with robotics technology, reducing the financial burden of small farmers. This paper aims to develop an android-controlled 6 DOF robotic arm and drill mechanism attached to a vehicle for planting a sapling. Through a drill mechanism, holes are made on one side and planting is done by a robotic arm on the other side. This prototype will be controlled using an Android application connected to the Arduino board via Bluetooth. Robotic arms are capable of performing a task repetitively.
