Abstract: Weed is an unwanted plant in an agriculture field that keeps the crop plants deprived of sunlight, fertilisers and water. If not removed, weed reduces the crop output to a larger extent i.e., endangering the farmer’s interests. There are three main reasons for leaving weed to grow in fields and substantial loss of crop output 1) non-availability of agricultural labour, 2) fear of snake bites and 3) higher amounts of time required for weed injection. As of there are no successful ROVs (Remotely operating vehicles) to get to the weed and capable of pulling off the weed without the farmer physically entering into the agricultural fields. The Proposed model reduces farmers getting exposed to snake bites during weed ejection and reduces the time and labour requirement for weed ejection. The project involves the study of different mechanisms required for weed pull-off from the agricultural fields and remote-control systems, modelling of components, fabrication of components, assembly and testing of the Remotely Controllable Robotic Weed-Ejector Vehicle.
