Students create voice sowing machines

The machine "made by students" helps to sow the seeds in the right line to 95%. It also features an outdoor temperature and humidity notification, allowing farmers to determine a suitable sowing time.

It is a research work that has undergone two "lives" of students of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education. After manufacturing mechanical and mechanical components for the first year, the team continued to turn to complete automatic control, which can be applied simultaneously to many machines at the same time.

By speaking directly into the mobile application written by the group itself, users can transmit commands according to pre-programmed slogans to help the machine move, sow or stop . at will. want.

When working, the vacuum set will work and suck the particles sticking to the tip of the needle, then put down into the right groove formed by the plastic tip below rake into the soil when moving.

Dang Thai Huy, a senior student at the University of Technical Education and head of the research team, said that during the actual test, the seeding efficiency was 95% straight.

In addition, the application also incorporates an outdoor temperature and humidity notification program, enabling farmers to determine the appropriate sowing time.

According to MSc Dang Minh Phung - Faculty of mechanical engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, the research instructor will be modified and improved with some additional functions.

"In my opinion, in Vietnam, if you want to apply automation in agriculture, you need to aim for automation at all stages, from tillage to sowing and harvesting . to be able to synchronize to increase productivity. many times " - Mr. Phung said.
