ABSTRACT: To avoid the various problems which affects the crop production, an autonomous vehicle is to be designed and used for crop transplanting and yielding, weed detection, crop protection, soil moisture properties, water status, temperature monitoring, fertilization and pesticides with their resource usage and also special focus on control and data monitoring with the embedded system. Some of the challenges and considerations on the use of these sensors and its technologies for crop production are also discussed in this paper. Fiber optic gyroscopes and multiple resolvers are employed to acquire the data for enhancing the accuracy of target positioning and in order to evaluate there is a method which describes the behavior of agricultural automation vehicle traveling along paths of any curvature

KEYWORDS: Precision Agriculture, Autonomous vehicle, Fiber Optic Gyroscope, Sensors, Service Unit, SLAM Algorithm.
