Development of IOT based Agribot for Farm Monitoring

Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. Around 70% of people in India depend on agriculture for their livelihood. It is difficult for farmers to practice agriculture without implementing modern technologies like IoT, Big Data, etc. The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of interrelated computing devices and it can transfer data over a network without requiring human intervention. Using this technology, we are coming up with Agribot which helps to monitor various functions in the field of agriculture. Agribot is a robotic vehicle of considerable power and great soil clearing capacity. This multipurpose system helps to monitor the level of water, temperature, humidity and soil moisture. This machine is used to cultivate the farm depending on the distance between the crops. The Agribot is controlled by connecting it to the Android smartphone through ESP8266. The whole process calculation, processing, monitoring is designed with motors & components interfaced with a microcontroller.
