 INTRODUCTION

Philippines is an agricultural country because of its rich and fertile soil and the seasonal
weather that is also applicable for various kinds of crops. Currently, the number of
farmers in our country is decreasing and it is one of the major problems since it may lead
to the shortage of some products such as rice, wheat, corn and etc. Planting of crops is
one of the major jobs in the Philippines because of its vast and rich land. Cropping is
important and tedious activity for any farmer and for large scale, this activity consumes a
lot of time and it also needs more workers. There are different types of cropping like sole
cropping, monoculture, multiple cropping etc. Multiple cropping in the farm requires
efficient and high-capacity machines. With the advance technology that the generation
has now, people can develop machines that can help farmers on modern farming.

Modern farming helped the farmers to reduce the energy that they are using in planting
crops. It lessens the amount of human work and the risk of certain dangers among the
fields. An article published by the Manila Bulletin also states that “Five million snake
bites are recorded worldwide yearly and caused about 125,000 deaths. This number
should not be taken lightly, considering that snakes are only common in tropical regions
and in agricultural areas” (Jane Nepomuceno, 2010). Because of modern farming, it
lessens the time of the farmers they are present in the field and let time rest for once in a
while. The advantage of the modern farming comes with easier way of plowing, sowing
and watering the plants.

Plowing the field is a major part in farming, the farmers need to be sure that the land is
humid before they plough the field. It takes time do the process and it consumes too
much energy because farmers often use heavy equipments that may require using
machines or plough the fields using rake for the soil. After plowing the field farmers sow
the seed and people do it manually. Once they sow all the seeds in the field they can now
start watering. One day is not enough to water the seeds it takes twice a day to water it
all. Some farmers use pail and it can carry limited amount of water in a time. They go
back and forth to get water until they water all the seeds in the field. The developers tend
to develop a Microcontroller-Based Seed sowing and watering robot which can help the
farmers reduce the amount of effort that they are exerting when working on the field and
aims to help farmers to reduce the risk when working in the farm.

Background of the Problem

The traditional way of farming is a step by step method where the farmers have to wait
for the rain to come and wait for three days for the soil to be damped by the rain, then the
farmers starts ploughing the fields and this method requires another three days in order to
plough the whole field. After ploughing the field, the farmers now start sowing the seeds
and it can be done by different methods such as scattering the seeds and implanting the
seeds one by one in an organized method. The farmers now mix fertilizers and pesticides
to ensure that the crops will not be affected by worms.

Quirino K. Arevalo also used the same method when he works in his farm. He also used
the corn he accumulates from ingathering for the next planting season but the problem is
the unpredictable weather. There are tendencies for his planting schedule to be delayed if
the rain did not arrive in the predicted, this results to the delay of crop gathering and also
the profits was delayed. He also said that working in the farm is also dangerous in many
ways such as the climate. During sunny days, the farmers are prone to heatstroke, snake
and rat bites which are lethal. On rainy days, the farmers may get flu that prevents them
from working in the fields.

The design project helps make these methods easier and with reduced effort. The project
can plough the fields, sow seeds and water them for the farmer so they are able to do
other things instead of giving their full attention to the field.

STI College Santa Rosa 2

Overview of the Current State of the Technology

Quirino K. Arevalo usually request help from his relatives or pays 3-5 persons to help
him in the fields. When Mr. Arevalo does not have any companion in the farm, he used a
large wood rake driven by the carabao to aid him in ploughing the field. Using a rake,
they manually plough the fields for up to 3 days depending on how many helpers he had.
They had to plough the whole field for three times to make sure that the soil is suitable
for planting the seeds. He usually gets tired easily because of his age and the effort of
going back and forth to get the necessary equipment for ploughing the field. After
ploughing the field, Mr. Arevalo starts implanting the corn seed in an organized fashion.
He will implant 1 or 2 seeds for every planting space so that one of the two seeds grows
if the other did not make it. The most tiring method in this process is when Mr. Arevalo
bends to implant the seeds to the soil, this repetitive method of bending down
continuously until every planting space in the whole field has its seeds. He also needs to
go back when the seeds he have insufficient for the whole field.
After sowing the seeds in the field, Mr Arevalo will now start watering the field. Mr.
Arevalo gets the water form a river near their local. But to fetch water from the nearest
river form his farm, Mr. Arevalo needs to travel by renting a jeep and filling 4-5 drums of
water. Then he will now start pouring the water to the seeded area and he also have to go
back and forth to refill his pail of water. He also mixes fertilizers and pesticides for the
water that was used for watering the seeds.
The developed system makes farming easier and saves the effort of going back and forth
to fetch the equipment which is necessary for the process that he is doing. The developed
system if capable of ploughing the fields, sowing and watering the seeds and will only
notify the user if the seed and water supply in each container is insufficient and if there is
any obstacle blocking the path of the robot. Mr. Arevalo will not have to bend down to
plant the seeds because the project is capable of doing it for him.

Objectives of the Study

Seed sowing machine is created to help farmers with process of the plantation of corn
crops, Philippines is a tropical country which is suitable for planting crops and the

STI College Santa Rosa 3

country is also rich with fertile soil and farming contributes to the country’s agricultural
growth. But one of the problems that the country faces is the lack of farmers. The
Microcontroller-Based Corn Seed Sowing and Watering Robot is a design proposal
for Quirino K. Arevalo’s farm aims to help the farmers from the ploughing of the fields,
seeds sowing and pouring water to it.

General Objective:
To design, develop and implement the Microcontroller-Based Corn Seed Sowing and
Watering Robot for Quirino K. Arevalo’s Far that aims to minimize the time and effort of
the farmers in ploughing the fields, sowing and watering the corn seed. Developing this
project helps the farmers in the field because the manpower required on the traditional
way of working in the fields is consuming a lot of energy. Providing an automated
machine helps the farmers to reduce the effort in working on the fields. It was a great
help because it will lessen the human intervention required to do the task.

Specific Objectives:
1. To develop a module that will plough, water the field and sow the seeds.
The traditional method of ploughing a field used a plough made of wood or steel
frame with an attached blade or stick that is used to cut the soil. The aim to develop a
mobile robot that will plough the fields by 1.5 to 2 inches deep. Then after ploughing
the field, the design project will now pour water to the ploughed field. After pouring
water to the soil comes the plantation of the seeds. Manual seed sowing has the
process of scattering the seeds in the soil or implanting seeds by hand. This method is
not only tiring, the farmers may also be at risk of being bitten by animals in the fields
such as rats that can harm people by its rabies, snakes that has venom. The project
drops the seeds along its path through the nozzle attached to it. As the project moves
forward, the seeds was dropped in the left and right side the soil ploughed but if there
is an obstacle that is blocking the path of the project, it stops moving forward until the
object blocking the path is removed.

STI College Santa Rosa 4

 2. To develop a module that will navigate the robot to the entire field.
The design project had a controller. By using a transceiver, the controller and the corn
seed sowing robot can communicate wirelessly. The controller was developed to
navigate the directions of the robot to the next line of the field that was ploughed, was
poured with water, and was planted with seed. By developing a controller to
manipulate the project, the robot was directed when to start the process and when to
stop.

3. To develop a module that will detect any obstacle along the path of the robot.
As the project moves forward, the seeds are dropped in the left and right side after the
soil is ploughed but if there is an obstacle that is blocking the path of the project, it
stops moving forward until the object blocking the path is removed.

4. To develop a module that notifies the user when there is insufficient water
and seed supply.
The controller used LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to modify the user if the seed and
water supply is close to being empty. It also indicated the percentage of the batter of
the robot. The problems regarding the lack of water and seed supply was displayed on
the LCD and buzzer will continuously buzz until the problems are fixed.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The Microcontroller-Based Seed Sowing and Watering Robot is capable of ploughing

the soul, sowing seeds and watering the crops without human intervention.
To learn more about the capabilities and features of the developed subject, the following
scope and limitations are discussed below:

Microcontroller Module
Microcontrollers were used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as

STI College Santa Rosa 5

automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office
machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing the
size and cost compared to a design that used a separate microprocessor, memory, and
input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more
devices and processes.
 Arduino Mega 2560 – A device that held the conditions desired by the client of
the project.
Seed Sowing Module
This module helped the project to release seed on the field, also programmed to plant
desired number of seed to be planted.
 Seed Container – This was the container for the supply of seeds to be planted.
The seed container can hold up to 3 kilograms of seeds.
 Blades – These blades were made of wood or steel are attached to a wood frame
which was used to cut through the soil so it was suitable for seeds plantation.
 Wood Rod – This is used to flatten the soil after the seeds have been injected to
the ground.
 Nozzle – This served as the pathway of the seeds that were to be injected to the
ground. The nozzle had the same diameter or maybe bigger than
seeds.
 Ultrasonic Sensor – This was used to determine the level of seeds supply in the
container.
Watering Module
Designed to detect the presence of water and proved an alert in time to allow prevention
of water leakage.
 Water Container – This served as the container for the water supply and a hose
can be connected so that the container can be easily filled. The container can hold
up to 4 liters of water.
 Soil Moisture Sensor – This sensor was used to measure how moist the soil
which the seed was implanted, if it reaches the level where it is dry, the developed
project will water the soil around the seed.
 Water Level Sensor – This type of sensor was used to indicate the level of the

STI College Santa Rosa 6

 water and it notifies the user when the water supply is close to being empty.
 Sprinkler – This was used to pour water to the soil.

Motor Module
This module was mainly responsible for the movement of the robot. It consist the
following:
 DC MOTOR – This was used to drive the wheels of the robot.
 Servo Motor – This was used to control how the seeds was dropped.
 Motor Driver – This was used to control the motor speed.
 Lead Acid Battery – This served as the power supply of the project.
Control Module
This module served as the back end of the system. This module was used by the user to
control the different functions of the system as the following:
 Robot Movement – The user can turn the robot left, right, forward and backward
using a remote controller.
 Ploughing Function – The robot moves forward while burying the wood rod
to the soil to plough the path for the seeds.
 Seed Sowing Function – The robot starts dropping the seed through the
nozzle.
 Watering Function – The robot moves backwards as it pours water to the
seeded path.
Limitations
The storage for corn seeds and water supply is limited.
The robot has a limited amount of seeds and water to carry and because if that, the
farmers have to refill it and go back and forth until the robot finishes planting. Manual
maintenance is required. After using the robot the owner should check if the seed and
water container are in good condition. The robot stops moving when there is an obstacle
blocking it and the user should remove the obstacle or run the project on different
direction.
The robot should not be too far from the controller.
The robot and the controller both has a transceiver that can transmit and receive
information within the range of 100 meters.

Manual operation of refilling seed and water and removal of the obstacle blocking
the path.
If the supply for seed and water is close to being empty or there is an obstacle blocking
the path, the user was notified by the buzzer from the controller.
The design project is not able to distinguish and sort different types of seed.
Even though the design project mainly used corn seeds as the main seeds to be planted,
the design project is not able to distinguish different variety of corn seeds and if the user
puts different seeds but with the similar size, the project continuously sowing the seeds.
The project can only be used for 7 hours.
The developed project uses 48 volts – 200 ampere-hertz lead acid battery and can be used
for 7 hours at maximum charge.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

Review of Related Literature, Studies or Systems

The review of related literature, studies or systems were one the important segments of
the research. This chapter’s objective was to provide the developers information about
the past researches and literatures that would prove the feasibility of the project proposal.

Foreign Studies

Automatic Seed Plantation Robot: This research presents an Automatic Seed Plantation
Robot which is based on electronic and mechanical platform that performs advance
agriculture process in idea of reducing the man’s effort to have automated planting of
crops, which can help the investors in agricultural system to encourage the other farmers
to work on this automated machine. The developers have developed vehicle which is
steered by DC motors to drive wheels to easily drive the machine on land. The farm is
cultivated by the automated systems to reduce the human effort and to have uniform rows
and column of the seeds, depending on the crop considering particular rows, specific
columns and also the depth of the seeds needed to be planted. The spacing between two
seeds in a column and the depth of the seeds hast to be entered on what is the desired
depth of the farmer. Ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the rotation of wheels and to
measure the distance the machine reached. To detect the obstacle in the path of the
vehicle IR LED with TSOP receiver is used ant turning position is also depend on the
sensor. To check whether seed container is empty or no, the farmers was notified by the
LDR sensor. All the operations are monitored and controlled by PIC microcontroller
using sensors.

Seed Sowing Robot: Agricultural system is the backbone of Indian economy because in
the said country is rich on good soil which helped the seeds to grow faster and healthy.
About half of the total population of our country has choses agriculture as their chief
occupation because of the developed system which is the automated planting of seeds
called Seed Sowing Robot. The states like Maharashtra, Punjab, and Kerala, Assam are
 highly involved in agriculture they have the good soils which can help the crops to grow
healthy. It all started due to the impact of. “Green Revolution” by means of which
farmers came to know about the various techniques involved in farming that can have the
nutrients to absorb by the crops and the advantages in it which helped the farmers to have
healthy plants. As centuries passed, certain modern techniques were invented in
agriculture the machine that can simplify the work of man and more accurate also less
effort the farmers can do.

Plant Watering Autonomous Mobile Robot: The systems comprises of a mobile robot
and a temperature-humidity sensing module. The system is fully adaptive to any
environment and takes into account the watering needs of the plants using the
temperature-humidity sensing module. The paper describes the hardware architecture of
fully automated watering systems, which used communication to communicate between
the mobile robot and the sensing module. This gardening robot is completely portable and
is equipped with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) module, a microcontroller, an
on-board water reservoir and an attached water pump. It is capable of sensing the
watering needs of the plants, locating them and finally watering them autonomously
without any human intervention. Mobilization of the robot to the potted plant is achieved
by using a predefined path. For identification, an RFID tag is attached to each potted
plant. The paper also discusses the detailed implementation of the system supported with
complete circuitry. Finally, the paper concludes with system performance including the
analysis of the water carrying capacity and time requirements to water a set of plants.

Design of an Autonomous Seed Planting Robot: Design for a mobile robot capable of
sowing seeds autonomously on a prepared land is reported. The body of the developed
device is constructed using aluminium for efficient weight reduction and strength
utilization. The drive is provided by caterpillar treads for traversal on undulating terrain.
The robot navigates the land using the inputs from a magnetometer and the accuracy of
direction is improved by feeding this input data to a Proportional Integral (PI) Controller.
In further employs an ultrasonic sensor for detecting the end of the field. The seeds are
sown by the robot in evenly spaced rows with each points where a seed has been dropped
solenoid actuator assembly. The device consists of a modular structure providing ease for

STI College Santa Rosa 10

 maintenance. Overall, the developed device exhibits appreciable efficiency in power
consumption, making it suitable for the field of agriculture.

Foreign Literature

According to the research article Design and Fabrication of Automatic Seed Sowing
Machine with Variable Pitch (2016) by Kiran AS and Baban Parisa Dathwade, sowing
is one of the basic operations needed to get better revenue from agriculture. Manual
sowing has the problems of not giving adequate spacing between row to row and plant to
plant leading to less population of crops than recommended by the agronomists. Also
there is the problem of placing the seeds at correct depth and correct soil coverage.
Manual sowing is time consuming and costly. Hence, there is a need for appropriate drill
sowing. Farmers in India perform agriculture mostly with manual operation. The pain
involved in doing each and every operation has to be reduced by the way of introducing
simple technology which is not only user friendly to farmers but also is economical for
farmers to adopt. Thus this project deals with design and fabrication of a smart seed
sowing robot which can sow seeds based on the pitch given by the farmers.

Based on research titled Automated Seed Sowing Agribot using Arduino (Saurabh
Umarkar and Anil R. Karwankar, 2016) it’s an article states that the discovery of
agriculture is the first big steps towards civilized life, advancement of agricultural tools
iis the basic trend of agricultural improvement. Now the qualitative approach of this
project is to develop a system which minimizes the working cost and also reduce the time
for digging operation and seed sowing operation by utilizing solar energy to run the
agribot. In this machine, solar panel is used to capture solar energy and then it is
converted to a shunt wound DC motor. Ultrasonic Sensor and Digital Compass Sensor
are used with the help of WI-FI interface operated on Android Application to manoeuvre
robot in the field. This brings down labour dependency. Seed sowing and digging robot
moves on various ground contours and performs digging, sowing the seed and covers the
ground by closing it. The paper spells out the complete installation of the agribot
including hardware and software.

STI College Santa Rosa 11

 Based on the project research Autonomous Agribot for Smart Farming (Ashish
Lalawani, Mrunmai Bhide and S.K Shah, 2016) Increasing population requires the
food production to be increased which requires better cultivation in the form of proper
utilization of seeds and fertilizers with minimum labor work. The main objective of
autonomous agribot is efficient utilization of resources and to reduce labor work. It can
perform various tasks like soul testing, sowing of seeds, spraying of fertilizers and
harvesting of fruits. It can measure the NPK content of soil using colour testing of
chemical solution using fiber optic and dispense the required amount of fertilizers which
is necessary or less in soil. It can spray the pesticides using spraying mechanism. All
above operations are performed by using ARDUINO controller which is mater and others
are lilypad which are slaves performs specific operations.

An article title “Agriculture must become more efficient: Robots and autonomous
super tractors are one important solution” states that “Robots had considerable effects
on agriculture”. Basic concepts such as crops rows might become unnecessary and not a
single square inch will remain unobserved. Blackmore dare a prognosis: “In 20 years
robotic had revolutionized agriculuture.” He is also certain the new technologies was
employed alongside traditional machinery. “And later robot generations was intelligent
enough to adapt to nature, the weather and other environmental conditions”, Blackmore
adds. Crop Science’s technology expert, Peter Dalumen agrees: “We don’t know what the
future looks like. But it is quite conceivable that robots helps us to increase the
productivity of farming in a more sustainable and environmentally compatible way”.

Local Literature

Based on the article “Corn crops in Bukidnon, Philippines” (Julie Transon, 2017) Corn
or maize, also known as Zea mays L., is an annual herbaceous tropical plant (Tela
Botanica, 2011). This plant species originally comes from Mexico but is currently planted
all around the world as forage cereal cultivated in the world, before rice and wheat thanks
to its very high productivity. Corn crops can be classified in two main groups according
to their latitude. Maize fields located between equator and 30° of latitude are considered

STI College Santa Rosa 12

 as tropical corn crop and those located at higher latitudes are designated as tempered corn
mean yield reach respectively 1800 kg/ha and 7000 kg/ha. Higher tempered corn yield is
due to its longer vegetative cycle.

According to the article “A Wireless Sensor Network using XBEE for precision
agriculture of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas)” (Romeo Lazaro Pascual, 2015).
There are two identical set-ups containing sweet potatoes being planted and monitored.
One of the setup is in acontrolled environment and the other one is exposed to the natural
environment. The controlled environment is enclosed in a miniature greenhouse in which
its temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture is being controlled using Arduino
Uno microcontroller according to the profile of the sweet potato in normal conditions.
Each set-up used sensors for measuring the aforementioned parameters. With the use of a
Wireless Sensor Network, the data from each sensor are collected wirelessly utilizing the
Zigbee protocol using XBee as its hardware platform. The Xbee’s are connected to a
personal computer and the data gathered is generated and interpreted using MATLAB
(Matrix Laboratory). A graphical user interface is created in MATLAB to display the
temperature and humidity of the environment and he soil moisture of the crop. From the
two set-ups being compared and analysed, the set-up in a controlled environment defines
precision agriculture.

Farmer robots made by PH students to compare in World Robotics tilt “(Matikas

Santos, 2013) is a research article about Filipino students that developed a set of robots
that aimed to take care of the Banaue Rice Terraces. The team created three robots called
ProTek. ProGrow and ProTek. ProGrow is a remote controlled drone with camera the
projects objective is to hover around the fields to water the plants and scatter fertilizers.
The project is also able to test the quality of the soil. The project ProTek is a remote
controlled drone with headlights primarily used for keeping away pests from the fields by
emitting ultrasonic waves within the range of 2—meters radius. The project ProTek is a
robotic backpack that is equipped with lights, navigation equipment, polaroid camera,
first aid kit, and a tracker that can pinpoint locations. The remote control of each drone
are wireless and used Bluetooth technology.

 Automated Water Sprinkler System with SMS Monitoring (Jayson Dilangalen,
Rocky Pelarion, Dominic Wagas and Neil Capricho, 2013) This study aimed to design a
device for watering the plants, specially an automated water sprinkler that can monitor
the user through SMS service system which is composed of Solenoid Valve to act as
water gate, water sprinklers to distribute water evenly. GSM to inform the user of the
garden status , soil moisture sensor to detect the amount of moisture in the soil and
microcontroller. The study sought to determine the efficiency of the system’s
performance. Experimental development and descriptive methods were used for better
investigation and they helped the researches to prove and understand principles behind
the project. The design project was evaluated by 11 selected evaluators who found that
the device was effective and efficient in watering the plants.

Synthesis

The designed proposal that has been made is a combination of local and foreign studies.
There are some articles and projects that are somehow similar to the Microcontroller-
Based Corn Seed Sowing and Watering Robot. So the developers decided to merge and
have a little upgrade to the other projects have been made.

The developers researched the studies of local and foreign projects about the said
proposal to gather some information to have a better background on building the mobile
robot. Most likely to the equipment used on farming.

Building an automated robot helped the farmers to protect themselves on contacting to

extreme heat and wild animals they may encounter on the fields. Also they may save time
on planting with the help of planting the corn seeds simultaneously. The developers saw
this idea on a local study name mechanical bug remover for farm produce. The said
project has 3 executions, furrowing, seed dropping and seed covering.

The Mechanical Bug Remover for Farm Produce was the study that helped the
developers to build and design the project because the said study was manual based and
the user needed to pull the device so that the machine simultaneously execute the process.

STI College Santa Rosa 14

 But the farmers are not safe at extreme heat and wild animals because they need to use it
manually, they must fasten the plant rate of the seed but the safeness is what the
developers want to improve.

Automated water sprinkler system with SMS monitoring gives an idea to build developed
project.
Although the developers’ client said that they did not need too much water because they
were just waiting to rain before they plant the corn seed. It was because the farmers want
soften the fields, but the developers realized, what if they need to restock corns to sell it
on market? The farmers need to fasten the production. So the study helped the developers
to add a water system on the developed project.

MICROCONTROLER-BASED SEED SOWING AND WATERING ROBOT

Overview of the Project

The Microcontroller-Based Seed Sowing and Watering Robot, is a mobile robot made of
aluminium. It is lightweight, easily to maneuver and designed to help the farmers. The
reason why the developers designed this project was to increase the plantation rate
especially on peak season of corn, to reduce the incidents on wild animals like snakes and
other venomous living organism, and to lessen the farmers in having different kinds of
skin diseases because of extreme heat and too much exposure to sunlight.
This concept is inspired from the project called "mechanical bug remover for farm
produce" but this device can be used manually. The developers applied automation to
farming by making a project that waters a designated area to supply the water needed for
the implantation of the corn seeds. The developers also improved and added some
processes such as furrowing, seed dropping, seed covering, water level sensor which was
used so that the user was notified if the water supply is nearly empty, a wireless controller
to control the robot on designated place of the corn field and this holds all the functions
of the robot from watering the soil, ploughing, seed planting and seed covering.

System Design Specification

The developers’ developed project was able to do the first three processes that is used for
raising corn crops. The first method which is ploughing the field takes place as the user
pushes the button for ploughing the field. A wood rod was burrowed 1.5 inch deep to the
ground and as the robot moves forward, the wood rod that is burrowed to the ground was
dragged. As the project moves forward, it starts dropping seeds to the ploughed path and
a servo motor was used to distribute the seeds to the two nozzle that drops it to the
ground. The project’s remote controller notifies the user if there is an obstacle blocking
the path of the robot by printing a text to the LCD screen and a making an audio signal
using a buzzer. If the project is at the end of the field, a message was sent to the remote to
press the button for watering the seeded area, the robot moves backwards and using a
 water pump and a hose, it will pour water to the seeded area. The user is notified again in
the remote controller when the water and corn seed supply is insufficient.

Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks out the functions of the
micro-controller into a more accessible package.

Calendar of Activities

The Gantt chart presented in this section was enabled to provide the summary of the
execution of activities in chronological order. Following the methodology of the research
which is the spiral model, first thing that the developers have done is Communication. In

STI College Santa Rosa 24

 this phase of spiral model, the developers were required to get all the data that was
necessary for the construction of the project. Conducting a site visit and making a short
interview with the client will give ideas to the developers on the creation of the project.
Next is Planning, in this phase, the developers compiled the data needed for the project.
The developers planned on how to execute the construction of the project. Next is
modelling, this phase requires reviewing projects made in the past that is related to the
study. Next is the Construction phase. This is the phase of spiral model where the
developers startsed building the prototype of the project. And lastly, the Deployment
phase, this was the phase where the project was tested for evaluation.

 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This chapter provides the different tests that have been made for each modules of the
design project. It shows the adjustments for each trials until the module and components
are working with a desirable result. It is supported by tables of the gathered data during
the progress of making the prototype.

Experimentation and Testing

Developing a module that ploughs, waters the field and sows the seeds.
Table 4.1 Module 1 test
Trials Output Remarks
1 Failed The length of the blades for
ploughing is insufficient.
2 Failed The seed drop rate is
uncontrolled.
3 Failed The water pump is
uncontrolled.
4 Failed The three functions could not
work together.
5 OK The three functions now could
work individually or together.

As the developers are testing the first module of the design project, the developers
encountered many problems. The first problem was the length of the ploughing blades.
The blade does not reach the ground. After adjusting the length of the blades, the
developers moved to the trial of seed sowing function. The problem in this function is
that the seed drops continuously and the distance between each seeds too close. To fix the
said problem, the developers adjusted the speed of the servo motor that serves as the
separator of the seeds and the gear that gets the seeds from the container. The third trial
 was making the water pump programmable. The developers made a DIY water pump and
for controlling it, the developers used motor driver. The fourth trial was making the three
functions work together as designed. The three functions does not work together properly
because the syntax is wrong. At the fifth trial, the functions can now work together or
individually at command.

Developing a module that navigates the robot to the entire field.

Table 4.2 Module 2 test
Trials Output Remarks
1 Failed Connection via RF is
unestablished.
2 Failed Control functions are
undefined.
3 OK The remote control is
connected.

The problem that is encountered when developing the second module was the connection
between the transmitter and receiver. The developers used FS-I6 remote. This remote can
be easily connected at the microcontroller and will be automatically connected to the
same channel as programmed.

Developing a module that detects any obstacle along the path of the robot.
Table 4.3 Module 3 test
Trials Output Remarks
1 Failed The sensors at the back and
front of the project receive
data at the same time.
2 OK The data reception of the
sensors works at command.

The problem that is encountered when developing the third module was the data

STI College Santa Rosa 29

 reception of two ultrasonic sensors. Both sensors process data at the same time and this
gives errors at the trial of the module. The solution to this problem was that only one
proximity sensor works at a time. When the project is moving forward, only the sensor at
the front works and when the project is moving backward, only the sensor at the back
works. Switches is used to trigger the movement of the project and which sensor works.

Developing a module that notifies the user when there is insufficient water and seed.
Table 4.4 Module 4 test
Trials Output Remarks
1 Failed Connection via RF is
unestablished.
2 Failed Transmitter and Receiver are
connected to each other but
the instructions are not clear.
3 OK The notification module is
working.

The problems that are encountered when developing the fourth module are similar to the
problems that are encountered when developing the third module. The connection of the
transmitter to the receiver is unestablished and cannot communicate to each other. The
solution for the connection is that making sure that the wires are connected to their
designated pins. After making sure that there is no problem with the connection, the
program should define what channel the transmitter and receiver be connected and it has
to be the same channel for each. If the transmitter and the receiver is connected to each
other and can send and receive data, the developer can program the notification method
that uses buzzer for the design project.

 Additional problems that are encountered by the developers.
Movement of the project
Table 4.5 Movement trial
Trials Output Remarks
1 Failed The project is not able to
move forward.
2 Failed The project moves at a very
slow pace.
3 Failed The motors cannot carry the
load of the project.
4 Failed The project moves forward
and backward disregarding the
commands.
5 OK The project now moves
forward and backward at
command.

The problem that is encountered in this trial is the data manipulation for the movement of
the project. The first reason is that the motors for wheels cannot support the whole
project. The project is too heavy for the motors and it is unable to move forward so the
developers changed the materials used for the housing of the project. The developers
replaced plywood and used steel sheets instead and made the second trial. The second
trial showed that the motor still cannot support the weight of the project. The developers
now replaced the motor of the project and prepared for the third trial. The third trial of the
movement function of the project shows that the project can now moves for a while but
stops because the motors still cannot carry the load of the project. The developers now
used acrylic glass as the material used for the housing of the project. The acrylic glass is
much lighter than the plywood and the steel sheet and as the developers conducted the
fourth trial, the project can now move and the motors can carry the load but the problem
in this trial is the program. The data reception of the ultrasonic sensors in the front and
back of the project receives data at the same time and every time it receives data from

STI College Santa Rosa 31

 both sensors, it moves forward and backward simultaneously. Setting up the code and
making a command that only one sensor works at a time solves the problem. The project
can now move forward and backward by command.

 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Accomplishing every module and developing it comes with trial and error until each are
working and producing desirable results. The first module took five trials before giving
satisfying results. Each functions of the first module are unique and should be
complement each other by commands that are given. The second module has the
objective of making a controller that can navigate the robot to the entire field. The
problem in this module is the connection of the transmitter to the receiver using
radiofrequency technology. The experimentation for the third module took two trials
before reaching a satisfactory result. The test for the fourth module is similar to the tests
made for the second module because both are using radiofrequency technology for the
communication of the transceiver to each other. The experimentation for the movement
of the project is directly connected to every module and it took five trials to achieve
satisfactory result.
In order for the first module to work properly, every functions should work individually
first. The length of the blades for ploughing the field needs to reach the soil but it should
not be too long because the blades might bend during the process of ploughing of the
fields. The seed sowing function works by distributing the seeds to the hole or nozzle
from where it is dropped. The developers used servo motor for that function because the
speed of the servo can be easily manipulated and it does not need any external motor
driver circuit. For the third function of module one which is watering the fields, the
developers used a 12 volts dc motor to create a water pump. The water pump is
manipulated through the motor driver on when it will pump water and when not to pump.
The second module works and produce satisfying results when the user establishes a firm
connection with the receiver in the same channel for radiofrequency communication. This
is more of a software work and every detail in the codes should not have any error for the
module to work perfectly. The third module is also configured in the software. If both of
the ultrasonic sensors are working at the same time, the microcontroller will receive data
from both sensors and will not know which data should be prioritized. Within the codes
for the controller of the project, it should be indicated that when the project is moving
forward, the proximity sensor in the front should be activated and receives data. During

STI College Santa Rosa 37

 the process of moving forward, the proximity sensor at the back of the project is
deactivated and when the project is about to move backwards, the sensor at the back
should be activated and the sensor at the front of the project should be deactivated. This
ensures that the microcontroller will receive defined data as it moves forward or
backward and prevents malfunctioning because of two data being received. The fourth
module is also data manipulation through radiofrequency communication. This module
uses another microcontroller in order to control a display module, a buzzer, switches, and
a transceiver. Establishing a firm connection with the second transceiver to the main
microcontroller of the project is a must. The connection should be in a different channel
so that the data transmissions of the transceivers are not obstructed.
For the future researchers that uses this study as a reference, the developers recommend
making a larger container for both seed and water so that the user will not refill the
supplies more frequently. It is also recommended to merge the remote control and the
notification module of the project. This project uses a separate module for the controller
and the notification module and both uses a separate battery. Making a single device for
both functions will be more efficient. For researchers that uses a water pump that is
bought from electronic shop, it is advised to use a relay for controlling the water pump
but this requires an inverter for water pumps that uses domestic voltages.

Target Project Layout
On this section, the developers showed the desire design of Microcontroller – Based Corn
Seed Sowing and Watering Robot.

Figure 4.1 Project Layout

This was the layout of the developed project. The project had two containers which was used
for holding corn seeds for the plantation and the other one for holding water for watering the
corn seeds. There were wood with sharp end which is ideal for ploughing the fields. The
wheel of the robot was designed similarly to the wheels of tractor so that it can still move
forward despite of the roughness of the path.

 ultrasonic sensor will detect if the seeds in the container is close to being empty. It will send
information to the Microcontroller unit. The water level sensor also works similarly to the
ultrasonic sensor, it detects if the water in the container is close to being empty. For the soil
moist, the Microcontroller unit sends instructions to move the servo motor so that the soil
moisture sensor can be injected to the soil and if the soil moist is insufficient for the growth
of the seed, the water sprinkler pours water to the soil.
