Internet of Things Technology Based Agricultural Spraying Drone Design for Remote Farming Applications

Öz

Internet of things and Drones are two new promising innovative technologies which is inevitable in the internet era. These technologies provide modern solutions for many fields. One of these fields is agriculture. Agriculture plays 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 which is capable for doing agricultural works like spraying, carrying and real time monitoring. An on board android device which is mount on the drone is used to manage the drone over internet by a graphical user interface software designed within the study. The farmer communicates with on board android device over internet by remote desktop application in order to manage drone and get data. The drone will help farmers by getting live data from the farm and do necessary works remotely. The aim of this study is 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.
