Abstract: This robotic vehicle is an agricultural machine of a considerable power and great soil clearing capacity. This multipurpose system gives an advance method to sow, plow, and water and cut the crops with minimum manpower and labor making it an efficient vehicle. As jobs in agriculture require intelligence and quick, where robots could be substituted. The mode of operation of the proposed machine is simple even to the layman. Model is controlled using Android Application through BLUETOOTH. The application is specifically designed for moving the robot in variable directions such as forward, backward, left and right. Developed agriculture needs to find new ways to improve efficiency. The project gives an integrated application in the field of agriculture, which plays a vital role in the development of the nation. The machine will cultivate the farm by considering particular rows and specific column at the fixed distance depending on the crop. Moreover, the vehicle can be controlled through the Bluetooth medium using an Android smartphone. The whole process calculation, processing, monitoring are designed with motors & sensor interfaced with microcontroller
