In a town of central India’s Madhya Pradesh a 19-year-old named Utkarsh Sen has developed a groundbreaking robot designed to perform various agricultural tasks, allowing farmers to relax at home while the robot works in the fields.

The incident took place in Sagar town on June 22.

  

Visuals showed the young man modifying the robots made by him, one of the robots bringing a spraying bottle on a tray and one of them ploughing a farming field.

According to reports, his impressive invention caught the attention of a major IT company in Bengaluru, which promptly hired him and later promoted him with a significant salary increase.

Utkarsh’s robot can handle weeding, irrigation, sowing, harvesting, and even provide weather alerts to farmers three hours in advance. It is powered by solar panels and batteries and can be controlled via smartphone within a 200-meter range using Wi-Fi or up to 15 kilometers when connected to a satellite.

The project, initially costing around $250, has the potential to be sold for $200 to $1,200 depending on the features. Utkarsh, inspired by his father, a retired electronics mechanic engineer from the army, began working on this agricultural robot in 2022 and completed it in eight months.

His remarkable achievement earned him a job with a Bengaluru IT company at an annual salary of $3,600, which was later increased to $14,400 following his promotion. Utkarsh, who is also an accomplished athlete with two national gold medals in kudo, is poised to bring revolutionary changes to farming with his innovative robot.
