Abstract
In this chapter, a solar powered pesticide-spraying RFID robot has been designed and developed for its use in different types of fruits and vegetable fields. The robot is equipped with DC motors, DC pump, a solar panel, and an ultrasonic sensor. The robot's navigation has been automated using RFID (radio frequency identification) technology. An ultrasonic sensor is used for sensing any obstacle in the path of the robot's navigation. A solar panel of 30W is used for charging the batteries that are used for driving the DC motors and the DC pump. The wheels of the robot are powered by DC motors, and the DC pump is used for spraying pesticides through the nozzles. The height of the nozzles can be varied depending on the size of the crop. The robot has been designed for spraying pesticides automatically thereby controlling pests, improving productivity, and reducing the health hazards of farmers posed by pesticides.
