Abstract - This is an automated irrigation system based on
IoT. An android controlled robot performs tasks like spraying,
obstacle detection, humidity sensing and temperaturesensing.
With the help of IoT we can control the system remotely via
Bluetooth and monitor the conditions of the agricultural field
without physically being there, all the data from the sensors
also can be accessed from a remote location, thus this system
can help in increasing yield with continuous monitoring of
crop.
Key Words: Ultra sonic sensor, Bluetooth module, IoT,
Temperature sensor, Humidity sensor, Automated
irrigation.
1.INTRODUCTION
One of the main aspects of human survival is food which
indirectly leads to agriculture. In India traditional
agricultural methods are still being used which are quite
inefficient. This problem can be solved by using smart
agriculture systems. Introduction of automation in
agriculture leads to efficient crop monitoring without any
human intervention. Overall the design realizes remote
monitoring and control of farms and hence reducing labour
cost.
IoT based system are used as they connect all the sensor’s
data and send it to a main server, where all the data can be
collected and analysed. This data can then be used to
improve the yield by making all the necessary changes.
In this system, a robotic vehicle which can be controlled by a
cellular phone with the help of the Bluetooth module. The
system is connected to an iot web page which displays all the
necessary data in real time. The data can be accessed from
any remote location via the use of proper credentials for
privacy purposes. The system also consists of a wireless
cameras to monitor the surrounding visually. The live feed
from the camera can be monitored with the help of an
electronic device.
The robotic vehicle also has a temperature and humidity
sensor which is used to monitor the data of the field and
analyse the pattern for spraying of water, along with that an
ultrasonic sensor which is mounted on the front of the
vehicle to detect any obstacles and stops on detection and a
buzzer is used to alert that.
A tank mounted on the vehicle which can be remotely
controlled for spraying water in a particular sectionwhere it
may be needed, which we can determine from the visual or
the data from the sensors.
In this paper section II is about the projects of similar
domain and their work, section III and IV has the system
design of project and all the components used and system
description and how it works respectively. Section V
contains conclusion and the future scope for the project.

2.RELATED WORKS
A system with soil related parameters like temperature and
humidity were measured by Wireless sensor network and
implemented using microcontroller and sensors. The
transmission was done on hourly basis and transmitted to
the webpage. The wireless robot has instruments like cutter,
sprayer and camera along with various sensors. Using them
it is used for Keeping vigilance, spraying of pesticides and
scaring birds and animals. [1]
