New efficient and low-cost technology for planting and watering are needed for the growth of agriculture sector. This paper deals with the novel design, fabrication and control of a mobile dual Prismatic-Revolute (PR) arm agricultural robot which can be used by farmers and households for domestic cultivation. Proposed robot is a prototype of a low cost wheeled robotic system which consists of four main subsystems such as digging module, seed module, moisture sensor-based watering module and

Time history plots of dual arm mechanism and results of static & dynamic analysis are presented. Farming experimentation is carried out using the prototype and results are analysed. This dual PR arm agricultural robot is a good, economical solution for agricultural problem of farmers and can also be used for domestic cultivation.
