Humans have many difficulties in agricultural monitoring and vegetable growth inspection. One problem is that they can’t identify insects in vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, spinach, etc., because of their small sizes. Also, different types of crop infections aren’t always visible to the naked eye. In India, around
Eighteen per cent of crops are damaged because of insects and diseases. Another reason for crop damage is wild animal attacks in farmlands. Wild animals like boar, elephants, monkeys, etc., destroy crops by crushing or eating plants. Around 30-40 per cent of crops in India are damaged because of these. The agricultural Robot can execute complex tasks accurately and efficiently because it uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms to read and react to visual inputs.

Likith Gowda, Likith Kumar N, Akash S, Sameer Prahlad Kulkarni, and Aditya S, students at M V J College of Engineering, have successfully developed a 2D CNC Rangoli plotter in the CNC Lab. Initially they have created a basic 2D CNC pen plotter with hardware from Maker Q, they have utilized NEMA 17 stepper motors and a servo gear motor for movement and pen control, respectively. Further, they have extended the project to CNC Rangolli Plotter. Overcoming challenges in controlling the amorphous substance for the rangoli, they innovatively added salt crystals for better flow. This achievement not only demonstrates their mechanical engineering expertise and teamwork but also reflects MVJCE’s commitment to fostering innovation and problem-solving among its students. It’s a testament to the institution’s quality education and mentorship, inspiring anticipation for their future contributions in engineering and beyond.
Akash , Aditya, Jeevan, Omakar H students of AEC – CNC Lab, have successfully developed a 2D CNC pen plotter in the CNC Lab. The CNC 2D Pen Plotter is a computer-controlled drawing machine designed to produce precise two-dimensional patterns on flat surfaces using a pen or marker. It operates on the principles of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, utilizing stepper motors—typically NEMA 17—for accurate movement along the X and Y axes, and a servo motor for vertical pen control. The system interprets G-code instructions generated from vector graphics software to automate the drawing process. Constructed using components such as linear rails, timing belts, and a microcontroller (commonly Arduino-based), the plotter serves as an effective educational tool for understanding motion control, automation, and mechatronics. Its applications range from technical drawing and PCB layout sketching to artistic rendering and handwriting automation.
