In traditional agriculture, seed sowing and related tasks require significant labour, time, and energy. Tractor-based methods often expose operators to harmful noise and vibration. The integration of robotics in agriculture offers a transformative solution by automating repetitive tasks, improving efficiency, and enhancing crop productivity. This paper introduces an autonomous smart agriculture robot designed for seed sowing, leveraging and watering technologies such as Bluetooth, Arduino microcontroller, and sensors to perform precise farming operations. The robot's functionality includes soil moisture sensing, automated seed placement at optimal depths and intervals, and subsequent watering. Its navigation is guided by user input via a smartphone-enabled Bluetooth interface, ensuring cost-effectiveness compared to a GPS-based system. The robot's modular architecture also supports additional capabilities such as ploughing, levelling, and pesticide spraying. With potential future extensions for automated disease detection and adaptive water management, this system exemplifies the role of precision robotics in advancing sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.
