Agriculture is a vital element for human survival, and it plays as one of the major sources of income, employment, and food security for many nations. The
team has conducted a study about Kuwait’s situation in agriculture. Then, the team conducted a study to see what the persons who are involved in farming need. Then, the team has many brainstorming sessions to get a product that satisfies their needs. The final phase report provides the details of the project and the results. The team settled on choosing the nozzle seed mechanism, and all the pieces and parts were explained in the report and illustrated with pictures. The COMSOL application was used to draw the model, an approximate drawing to work within the workshop, after that the model was drawn more accurately with details. Using the SolidWorks application, we entered this drawing with the ANSYS program and calculated the failure in the frame in three cases, which are normal conditions, moderate conditions, and difficult conditions. It was discovered that there was no failure in the three cases, and the weakest part was the rod. A comparison was also made between the farmer and the robot, where it was proven robot saves time, effort, and money.
