Recent Development of Automation and IoT in Agriculture

Abstract

This paper presents a brief overview of the automation and IoT (Internet of Things) used to enhance good agricultural practices. Robotics can be efficiently used in food safety and makes it environment-friendly by using the appropriate use of chemicals. Robotics is also helpful in testing land quality and to choose the appropriate crop for the land. The robotic weed control system is highly beneficial. Development of reconfigurable robot is very important because in the future agricultural land decreases and multitasking robots are required to make it fast and maintain quality, present robots are single task targeted robots. The smart farming also helps to maintain the humidity, temperature and irrigation process. The main aim of this study to making agriculture smart and efficient by applying automation and IoT techniques.
