IoT and Wireless Sensor Network Based Autonomous Farming Robot

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for smart farming solutions to optimize crop production while reducing the need for manual intervention. Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging technology that shows the future of computing and networking. Agricultural monitoring from a remote location is one of the essential applications of IoT based wireless sensor networks. The IoT based wireless sensor network faces problems due to the dynamic changes in the environment. The number of required sensor nodes increases for monitoring of the vast area. By introducing mobility of all nodes in the IoT based wireless sensor network, we can decrease the number of nodes and thus reducing the cost of the overall system. In this project, an IoT based farming robot network is proposed for farming applications. Robots are also equipped with an infrared sensor for avoiding obstacles during navigation. We developed automatic plant watering system also. These robots can be used for harvesting pesticide spraying, controlling weed and many other applications. The proposed system provides an efficient and cost-effective way to manage crops, while reducing the need for manual labor.
