Abstract
The "Smart Seed Sowing System" is an advanced agricultural automation systemdesigned to revolutionize traditional farming by automating the seed sowing andirrigation processes. Powered by solar energy, it integrates robotics andmicrocontroller technology, reducing manual labor while ensuring precise seedplacement and efficient water usage.1 The robot navigates autonomously, equipped with a seed sowing mechanism, a water pump, and spray nozzle, deliveringseeds and water with pinpoint accuracy to optimize germination and minimizeresource waste. Central to its operation is an ESP32 microcontroller, whichcoordinates the system's components, including motors, sensors, and a cloud- connected application.2 This cloud integration enables real-time data monitoringand remote control, allowing farmers to make data-driven decisions that enhanceproductivity and resource management. The system promotes sustainability throughits reliance on solar power, making it cost-effective and environmentally friendly, especially for smallholder farmers in remote or off-grid areas3. By automatinglabor-intensive tasks and utilizing renewable energy, the Smart Seed Sowing Robotaddresses key challenges in modern agriculture, such as labor shortages, inefficiencies, and environmental concerns, paving the way for more sustainable, efficient, and precision-driven farming practices.
