Abstract: The present invention relates to a multifunctional agricultural robot. The small-scale agricultural robot designed to automate essential farming operations and improve productivity in small and medium-sized farms. The system architecture has an Arduino Uno (101) that controls various sensing and actuation modules. An ultrasonic sensor (102) and soil moisture sensor (103) supply real-time field data, while a relay board (104) operates a pump motor (105) for precision spraying. A Bluetooth module (106) enables wireless communication for remote monitoring and control. The robot further includes a pick-and-place mechanism (107) for handling materials and an L293D motor driver IC (108) that powers multiple drive units, including the seed setup mechanism (109), a BO motor (110), and DC motors 1, 2, and 3 (111, 112, 113). These components enable seed sowing, weeding, spraying, and mobility. The invention offers a costeffective, adaptable, and energy-efficient solution for sustainable precision agriculture.
