Design and manufacture of a voice-controlled seeding machine through smartphone

Abstract

Today, the 4.0 industrial revolution has been exerting a significant influence on almost all aspects of life, including agriculture. The application of advanced technology to agriculture will help increase productivity, reach the standards of product quality and reduce the loss of labor force and thus brings considerable benefits to farmers. Although Vietnam has been strongly attached to enduring tradition of agriculture, little was found in the application of hi-tech to agricultural development. Based on the careful study on farmers’ demand for seeding equipment with application of advanced technology to boost productivity and reduce their manual labour, this article is aimed at presenting some research findings of a voice-controlled seeding machine using smartphones. The product can meet the following fundamental requirements: sowing seeds with the high level of accuracy, productivity and in different conditions. Moreover, the machine also uses voice control, environmental data acquisition technology and safety systems of equipment. Concurrently, this research also serves the needs of teaching, learning and researching of students.
