Abstract

Robotics in agriculture has been slowly emerging although some improvements can be made in the technology for small farms for personal purposes. With the current rise of popularity in farming as a hobby, many people started their own urban farm, but does not have enough time to fully commit themselves in this field. Computer Numerical Control machine or CNC machine can be use to help perform simple farming tasks like watering plants. Using the already existing information known about CNC Machine, the performance of tasks such as watering plants can be improved. The CNC machine was firstly sketch for watering carrots using AutoCAD software. The machine then is developed for a 900mm x 600mm watering system.The code for the machine was then wrote in Arduino IDE software and sent to NEMA17 stepper motor using Arduino MEGA 2560. The CNC machine then can be moved in x and y axis direction. This machine can help people in urban areas to start their own small farms.
