Pallavi; and V. Nithin, Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, on April 18, for 'agro smart pro: an autonomous solar-powered seed sowing robot.'
Inventor(s) include Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute Technology; C. Rubina; P. Tharun Kumar; D. Pallavi; and V. Nithin.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Agro Smart Pro: An Autonomous Solar-Powered Seed Sowing Robot Abstract: The present invention relates to an autonomous agricultural robotic system designed for real- time soil analysis and precision seed sowing using renewable energy sources. The system addresses the challenges of traditional farming such as delayed soil testing, inefficient resource utilization, and labor-intensive operations. The proposed system integrates an ESP32 microcontroller with an industrial-grade NPK sensor that measures Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) levels in real time. The acquired data is processed using a hierarchical decision-tree model to recommend suitable crops based on soil conditions. The robot employs ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection and autonomous navigation, ensuring efficient movement across agricultural fields. A servo-based seed dispensing mechanism enables controlled and uniform seed placement. The system is powered by a solar panel integrated with a lithium-ion battery, ensuring sustainable and continuous operation. The robot also includes a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring and control. This invention promotes precision agriculture, reduces manual labor, optimizes resource usage, and enhances crop productivity while supporting environmentally sustainable farming practices."
