Pest Detection and Obliteration Based Robotic System

Pest infestation is one of the major challenges by farmers. If these pests are not controlled, they can cause threat to harvest, thus generating a huge loss for the farmers. Thus, pesticides have to be supplied to plants. However, extensive usage of pesticide can cause adverse effects on a human’s life when the harvest enters the food chain. Thus in order to curb the extensive usage of pesticides, we propose a pest obliteration system that captures real time video of plants; if pests are found pesticide is sprayed, else the robotic prototype will keep moving until it find the pest on plant.
