Description: The main aim of the paper is to design a robot to remove the human factor from labor intensive and/or dangerous work. In modern farming applications, so many different types of automation techniques are used for easy and staff less operations that includes the important functions like seeding and spraying fertilizers. Here in this project we implement a robot which automatically sows seeds in the farm ready to be seeded. The project intends to develop a prototype of an autonomous agricultural robot that includes an automated guidance system which helps sow seeds in an efficient manner checking depth in which it is being sowed and inter seed distance. Micro controller user’s kinematics algorithms to maintain position control on the motors. PWM channels of micro controller and MOSFET based power amplifiers and power transistors are used to control motors. This robot is developed with two motors which make it more generic about hardware. All the logic is implemented in the software. Microcontroller 8051 is used to intelligently monitor the robot. Keil uVision4 software provides an integrated development environment to develop a program to do the same.
