Abstract : The most important sector of Indian economy which is identified as the backbone is agriculture. The major part of agriculture lies in paddy cultivation. In earlier days, agriculture was the major sector where most people were employed but nowadays, due to industrial growth and IT revolution, the employment in agriculture has become too less. The major part of economy which is vital for India’s economic growth is now facing serious issues due to the manpower shortage, lack of advancement in technological usage. This proposes a solution to meet out this issue by bringing in automation in the agriculture domain. Agricultural processes are chains of systematic, repetitive and time-dependent tasks. It requires lot of manual labor and accurate placement and managing of seeds and saplings. It’s a case where a human error is highly possible. In this work, an attempt is made to automate the process of distributing the seeds and once they are grown big enough to get transplanted, the robotic solution will transplant these plants. The automated solution will distribute the seeds in an organized and optimized way. The robotic platform will pluck the plants and replant them in an organized way.
