Automatic robotic seed sower.

Abstract

An automatic robotic seed sower is the subject system. This system creates furrows, sows’ seeds into these furrows at evenly spaced intervals and covers these holes/furrows. This system improves the technology of the existing metering systems in the attempt to reduce or completely curb down the high labour expenses spent on achieving fast seed sowing. In gathering information, consultations and document reviews concerning the existing seed sowing systems were carried out. It was from the analysis of this gathered information that the developing of the Automatic Robotic Seed Sower. I programmed this system using Arduino IDE software. The components of the system were designed prior to system testing using a bread board after which they were soldered on a copper board. The functionality of the system was under the control of the code that was written on the microcontroller. The system was finally subjected to system testing to validate and verify its working by me and some of my classmates before presenting to the Busitema University Computer engineering panel.
