Design and Integration of a Compact Mobile Outdoor Soil Sampling Agricultural Robot
Objective
To design and integrate a mobile agricultural robot for automated soil sampling. The system aims to improve soil data collection efficiency in farming environments.
Abstract
Soil sampling is a fundamental step in agricultural analysis, helping farmers and researchers assess nutrient levels, moisture content, and soil health across a field. Traditional soil sampling is carried out manually, which is slow, physically demanding, and prone to inconsistent results. This project presents a compact mobile outdoor agricultural robot designed to automate soil sample collection while navigating a field. The robot is built on a wheeled chassis driven by two DC motors through a motor driver, all controlled by an Arduino Uno. Movement is commanded wirelessly through a Bluetooth module, allowing an operator to remotely drive the robot across uneven outdoor terrain. An ultrasonic sensor mounted on the robot continuously scans for obstacles in its path; when an object is detected within a set threshold distance, the robot automatically halts to avoid collision. Once positioned at a desired location, a high-torque servo motor is actuated to collect the soil sample. Powered by a 12V battery through a regulated power supply, the system integrates mobility, obstacle safety, and sample collection into a single compact platform suitable for outdoor agricultural use.
