Compared to spraying pesticides manually outdoors, the environment is more closed, and has a high temperature, humidity and so on for operating the spray work in the green-house. In order to protect laborer and reduce labour intensity, we develop a prototype of pesticide spraying robot specially used in the greenhouse. This project work is an engineering solution to the current human health hazards in the confined space of agricultural field is achieved by an autonomous solar spraying robot for use in pest control. It can be observed that the solar based robot system will make precise spraying operation by being a solution to power failures in rural areas. This robot would be able to contribute the minimum input maximum output production system. Due to solar the maintenance and vibration as compared to the petrol sprayer is reduced. Here in this module we designed a robot, which can be controlled by mobile Bluetooth for operation. Its function is to mix the pesticide with water in pre-requisite amount and spray it in forward direction evenly, as per the set dosage. Robot is controlled with an Arduino Uno by using an android App and in which we use Bluetooth communication to interface controller and android. Controller can be interfaced to the Bluetooth module though UART protocol. According to commands received from android the robot motion can be controlled. Although the productivity of the prototype is not quite efficient, the robot still meets the requirements of pesticide spraying in the greenhouse without human operators Agricultural robotics is a logical proliferation of automation technology into biosystem such as agriculture, forestry, green house, horticulture etc. Presently a number of researches are been done to increase their applications. Some of the scientist contributions are mobile robot, flying robot, forester robot, Demeter which are exclusively used for agriculture.
