Abstract This paper demonstrates the design and construction of an automated seed Sower or seed hand system with precision irrigation and environmental scanner to be used in smart agriculture. The system is constructed to minimise manual labour, enhance the precision of sowing, as well as efficient application of water and resources. The robot moves autonomously with a control unit made of a microcontroller that coordinates seed dispensing, movement and irrigation functions. One of the seed sowing mechanisms is that the seeds are planted at a constant depth and distance which enhances a uniform growth and consistency in yield. To facilitate precision irrigation, soil moisture sensors constantly observe the field conditions and control the water supply to the field only when necessary, so as to avoid overwatering and waste. Moreover, real-time monitoring of such environmental parameters as temperature and humidity is monitored, which helps to comprehend the conditions in crops. The data obtained can be utilized in making timely decisions and better management of the farms. The system was put under controlled conditions and it proved to be a reliable performance in the matters of seed placement and water management. The findings reveal that the solution is capable of improving the productivity and reducing the human labour and the cost of operations, thus suitability in the current agricultural operations.
