Abstarct: Precision agriculture is an innovative technology that is rapidly gaining popularity. By automating farming processes, it saves time and energy typically spent on repetitive tasks, ultimately boosting crop productivity through individualized treatment of each plant. Agribot aims to incorporate robotics technologies into the agricultural industry. The farmers still heavily depend on conventional methods to perform agricultural tasks, resulting in a rise in labor requirements and a decline in the precise end result. This initiative seeks to address agricultural challenges and enhance the accuracy of the final output by creating an agricultural robot capable of automatically performing tasks such as plowing, leveling, seed sowing,and leaf disease detection . First, the robotic system is built using a high-torque DC motor, communication module, relay driver circuit, battery package , and microcontroller.The navigation of the vehicle is based on Zigbee and remote controlled system, to achieve high -level of accuracy and cost effective. Second, Automation in seeding operation provides accuracy in these spatial distance and digging the soil at a crop specific depth, dropping of seeds in the hole, covering it by soil and then pouring water on it . The completion of row is detected by IR sensors. Third, detection of leaf diseases by using the image processing techniques,a Convolution Neural Network (CNN)-based system and Digital cameras which are integrated to capture particular diseases on the plant body surface based on the shape, colour, and spots present on the leaf, and identified information is is processed though the IP unit ,feed to the controller and sends an SMS alert to the centralised cloud for storage and the farmer's smartphone for necessary response.
