Internet of things and Drones are two new promising
innovative technologies that are inevitable in the internet era. These
technologies provide modern solutions for many fields. One of these fields is
agriculture. Agriculture plays a pivot role for humankind because more than
half of the World’s population depends on agriculture. In this study internet
of things, technology is applied to a drone that is capable of doing
agricultural works like spraying, carrying, and real-time monitoring. An
onboard android device that is mounted on the drone is used to manage the drone
over the internet by a graphical user interface software designed within the
study. The farmer communicates with onboard android device over the internet by
remote desktop application to manage drone and get data. The drone will help
farmers by getting live data from the farm and do necessary works remotely.
This study aims to enable farmers to do remote farming. Agricultural activities
have declined in recent years with the increase in migration from the village
to the city. Thus, farmers will be able to make remote farming.
