Abstract: In this paper we have proposed to build an all-terrain mobile robot for environmental observation, surveillance and assistance in an agricultural field. The robot’s working is based on rocker bogie mechanism, it is also equipped with a gimbal for establishing a camera. The rocker bogie mechanism is achieved with th help of 6 different wheels controlled by arduino and l298n. The gimbal’s orientation is controlled by servo motors which use PWMs for functioning.With the continued demand for food and an ever-growing population, the agriculture industry continues to search for new ways to improve productivity and sustainability. There is a need for efficient and precise techniques of farming, enabling farmers to put minimal inputs for high production. Image processing techniques can be used to enhance agricultural practices by improving the accuracy and consistency of processes while reducing farmers’ manual monitoring.
