Abstract: GUEVARRA, MARCOS O. and MELLIZA, APRIL YASMIN M. Development of an Autonomous Micro-planter Robot. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. December 2016. Adviser: Mrs. Marivic G. Dizon. The study entitled “Development of an Autonomous Micro-Planter Robot” was conducted from December 2015 to October 2016. The general objective of the design was to develop an autonomous micro-planter robot. Specifically, it aimed to design and construct the device, to design and construct the circuit and to develop the software for the system. It also aimed to test and evaluate the performance of the system. Lastly, it aimed to conduct a cost computation for the study. The device used an Arduino Compiler for the programming of its system. Arduino Compiler was capable of controlling the compass, motors, sensors, LCD display, IC’s and limit switches. The circuits in the device were the ultrasonic sensors, motor drivers, LCD display, shift register IC, voltage regulator, three-axis digital compass and limit switches. The design project was tested and evaluated at field of Cavite State University Main Campus SAKA, Indang, Cavite to determine the capacity of the robot, the seed dispenser efficiency of the robot, precision of the distances, percent error of drilling and energy consumption. Based on the results of the evaluation, the micro-planter robot has higher capacity on longer distance, the seed dispenser has higher capacity on corn seed, and the precision of distances were found to have significant difference on the measured parameters by the Statistical analysis though the micro-planter robot was not able to turn to the next plot properly due to the worn out gear sets. The percent error of drilling was due to the muddy structure of the soil. The drill can’t retract because it is stuck on the soil. The energy consumption of the micro-planter robot was 193.35Wh based on the evaluation results. The total cost of the design project was Php 31,380.00.
