Abstract
This paper proposes an approach to implement computer driven multi-utility engineering vehicle that can be operated from any location within the radio-frequency to reduce the human efforts. Based on supervise autonomy, tractor is able to plough the field with defined pressure on the soil. A simple desktop computer can operate this radio controlled tractor through arrow keys by viewing the scene from camera headed over front of it. This is a prototype model which can be implemented in real world environment. The experiment with this demonstration shows a significant and positive effect on plowing the field without visiting there with solar charged batteries only. Looking ahead to the futurity, estimates are that farmers will be devoured.
