This research paper explores the development and implementation of a remote-controlled Electric Vehicle (EV) for precision weeding in agricultural fields. The EV, powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, offers a zero-emission alternative to conventional combustion-engine agricultural machinery. Its electric motor propels the vehicle with precision, while the remote-control system allows for precise navigation and weed eradication. The environmental benefits of the EV include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, and quieter operation, promoting the harmonious coexistence of agricultural practices and the environment. The project aims to pave the way for sustainable, clean, and efficient farming practices by eliminating the carbon footprint associated with traditional machinery and herbicide use. The research project considers not only the technological development of the EV and its remote-control system but also the environmental impact assessment, safety considerations, and the development of a robust charging infrastructure. The aim is to optimize weed management and foster a holistic approach to agriculture, where ecological balance and efficiency coexist. The outcomes of this project are poised to contribute to a more sustainable and responsible future for agriculture, where the convergence of technology and ecological responsibility is the guiding principle.
