3. OBJECTIVE
To Develop a real time Agricultural Weed Removal System controlled
with a Smartphone,
FEATURES:
 Wireless Video Transmission Technology and low cost
smartphone(s),
 Embedded C programming - Interfacing Bluetooth module, Motor
driver with Microcontroller.
 Areas of Application:
-Short distance video monitoring,
-By upgrading the proposed system with Image Processing
Techniques, Autonomous Weed Removal System in Agriculture
Industry.

4. ROBOT AND ROBOTICS
 ROBOT: Electro-Mechanical machine which performs a variety of
tasks that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry.
 ROBOTICS: Branch of Technology that deals with the design,
construction, operation and applications of Robots.
 APPLICATIONS: Manufacturing industry, medical science, robots in
space, national defense, transportation, agriculture and almost all
the fields.,

5. ATMEGA 2560
The Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560.
 54 digital input/output pins (15-PWM outputs),16 analog pins
 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports),
 a 16 MHz crystal oscillator,
 a USB connection,
 a power jack,
 an ICSP header and
 a reset button.
AT MEGA 2560 can be programmed in Embedded C, Arduino IDE.,

7. WORKING PHASE-I
Surveillance Part:
-Two smartphones [(i.e.) the surveillance device and the monitoring device] are in
a same Wi-Fi network-IP address is generated.
-Assume the first device as “Mobile A” and the Second device as “Mobile B”.
-“Mobile A” can stream a live video from its camera to “Mobile B”-IP Webcam
Controlling Part:
-Bluetooth module is interfaced with AT Mega 2560 microcontroller along with DC
Motors and Motor Driver.
-Entire setup is placed in small vehicle chassis.
-User can communicate-sending a signal to the Bluetooth Module,with the help of
an Android Application

8. WORKING PHASE-II
Methods of Weed Removal:
Semi-Automatic Method:
-Control using Android Application.
-User has to control the robot-remove the weed, wherever it
occurs in the farmland.
Fully-Automatic Weed Removal:
-Image Processing Algorithms and Image Comparison
Techniques.
-Microcontroller that is application specific for Image
Processing.
-Specially designed Camera Sensor to detect the weed.
-Robotic gripper to remove the weed which has three degrees
of freedom.
