Students of Kakatiya Institute of Technology and Science (KITS) in Warangal have developed a driverless autonomous tractor. The tractor is equipped with sensors and GPS to navigate the field without human intervention.
The tractor was developed by a team of students led by Dr. V.V.S.S.S. Prasad, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KITS. The team worked on the project for over a year and developed the tractor using a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other sensors.
The tractor is powered by a 15-horsepower engine and can travel at a speed of up to 10 kilometers per hour. It is equipped with a GPS system that allows it to navigate the field autonomously. The tractor also has a camera that allows the operator to monitor the tractor’s progress from a remote location.
The students developed the tractor to address the problem of labor shortage in the farming sector. They believe that the tractor could help farmers to increase their productivity and reduce their costs.
The tractor has been well-received by farmers and other stakeholders in the agriculture sector. The students are now working on commercializing the tractor and making it available to farmers across the country.
Features of the Driverless Autonomous Tractor:
• Equipped with sensors and GPS to navigate the field without human intervention.
• Powered by a 15-horsepower engine and can travel at a speed of up to 10 kilometers per hour.
• Equipped with a camera that allows the operator to monitor the tractor’s progress from a remote location.
Benefits of the Driverless Autonomous Tractor:
• Could help farmers to increase their productivity and reduce their costs.
• Could help to address the problem of labor shortage in the farming sector.
• Could help to make farming more sustainable.
Conclusion:
The development of the driverless autonomous tractor by the students of KITS is a significant achievement. The tractor has the potential to revolutionize the farming sector and make it more efficient and sustainable. The students are to be commended for their ingenuity and innovation.
