Abstract

The concept of this project is based on the current phenomenal of fertilization methods used in today’s agricultural field. The problem of this study is currently the fertilize process had done manually and the amount of fertilizer to be provided not irregular. Besides, workers in the agriculture industry require more effort and prolonged amount of time. Therefore, because too many areas to cover the consistency of giving the fertilizer is not same. Next, the problem is the cost of paying high wages due to high amount of workers used at farm and the use of fertilizer and type of fertilizer that harmful to the health of workers. The Automated Robot Fertilizer is proposed to ensure the pineapple plant grow healthier. This robot is equipped with the storage tank for the pallet and for moving it used of four wheels system. For the mechanism it used of servo motor in both sides to dispense of pallet fertilizer. This mechanism is attached on side of the storage tank, which a trigger to perform the pallet fertilizer dispense action. Hence, pallet fertilizers had been dispensed, it will travel through a pipe and the pallet fertilizer can be dispensed easily to the soils. Moreover, the sensor such as encoder to detect the position and to make sure measurement position is accurate Lightweight material such as aluminum will be used to construct the chassis of the robot. With the aid of this Automated Robot, it can minimize the time required to perform fertilizing of the plants in the agricultural ecosystem and industry.
