There are many technologies C4PA is working on such as follows:
- Spot specific sprayer for orchards
Purpose
Spot specific sprayer is going to benefit farmers economically by providing an improved adjustment of agro-chemical to the orchard field. Using this technology about 40% of agro-chemical is saved while comparing with conventional methods of spraying.

- Smart Plant Height Measurement
Purpose
This technology is going to benefit fieldworkers, researchers, students, and farmers during height measurement of plants. Data related to plants height with their geographical location of the plant is saved by using such device. Furthermore, an economical and reliable method is applied in this device for practical application in agricultural fields during plant height measurement.

- Robotic Arm Summary
Purpose
A robotic arm with 4-ft length was designed using Aluminum (18-Gauge) and Mild-steel (MS-16) as fabrication material for the mechanical components. A prototype was tested for failure and movement calculation using SolidWorks. The design consists of 4 motors each motor showing the degree of freedom (4-DoF) and the link motor operating at the maximum of 180 degree and base motor at 360 degrees. The gripper design has the opening range of the 6-8 inch depending upon the task. The total weight of the robot is `2-14 kg and it has the capacity to carry 8-10 kg.
