An Autonomous Pesticide Sprayer Robot with a Color-based Vision System

The usage of robots has been due to cost reduction and increasing operation accuracy. Furthermore, employing in farming can decrease human tasks hard dangerous duties such as plowing, spraying pesticides, etc. Spraying chemicals is a common agriculture crop protection. This essential, but it create some problems environmental damages by overdosing using pesticides. Recently, researchers focused on precision make this smart. Sensors are employed detect leaves plants the ground spray them much required. Thus, pesticide dose will be under control. current paper aims introduce wheeled robot that developed color sensor them. move between planting rows weeds based leave color. A microcontroller-based board was used main controller, which sends commands sprayer nozzle. Outdoor indoor tests were carried out study accuracy system. Results experiments showed could work with acceptable identifying field. commercialized for applying field
