Toward agriculture 4.0: Smart farming environment based on robotic and IoT

Abstract

The Agriculture 4.0 is the agriculture that integrates a series of innovations in order to produce and improve agricultural product. These innovations include precision farming, IoT and big data in order to achieve greater production efficiency. Our vision in this work is a new generation of smart, flexible, robust, compliant, interconnected robotic and autonomous systems working seamlessly alongside their human co-workers in farms and food factories. For this objective, we proposed a solution based on robotic and IoT technologies for smart greenhouse's management which offers the farmer the ability to monitor, supervise and control an important number of greenhouses without the need to physically intervene each time for regular actions like irrigation, nebulization and aeration depending on the foods and plant's needs.
