Training Program on IOT and Robotics in Agriculture and Smart Farming

 Training Program on IOT and Robotics in Agriculture and Smart Farming

Introduction 

The combination of Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics has
immense potential in transforming agriculture and enabling smart farming
practices. Here are some applications of IoT and robotics in agriculture and
smart farming:

 Precision Farming: IoT sensors can be deployed throughout
the farmland to monitor and collect data on various parameters such as soil
moisture, temperature, humidity, nutrient levels, and weather conditions. This
information can be used to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control,
resulting in improved crop yields and resource efficiency.

 Automated Irrigation Systems: IoT-based irrigation systems
can utilize sensors and weather data to automatically adjust watering schedules
based on real-time moisture levels in the soil. This helps prevent overwatering
or underwatering, conserving water and reducing costs.

 Crop Monitoring and Management: Drones equipped with cameras
and sensors can be used for aerial imaging and monitoring of crops. These
drones can capture high-resolution images, detect plant diseases, nutrient
deficiencies, or pest infestations. Farmers can then take targeted actions to
address these issues, improving crop health and reducing losses.

 Livestock Monitoring: IoT sensors can be attached to
livestock to monitor their health, location, and behavior. This enables farmers
to remotely track the well-being of their animals, detect signs of illness or
distress, and optimize feeding and breeding practices.

 Robotic Farming: Agricultural robots can perform various tasks
such as planting, harvesting, weeding, and spraying. These robots can be
equipped with computer vision systems to identify and selectively target crops
or weeds, minimizing the use of herbicides and improving efficiency.

 Supply Chain Management: IoT devices can be used to monitor
storage conditions, such as temperature and humidity, during transportation and
storage of agricultural products. This helps ensure optimal conditions and
reduce spoilage, increasing the quality and shelf life of the produce.

 Farm Management Systems: IoT platforms and software
solutions enable farmers to centralize and analyze data collected from various
sources, providing valuable insights for decision-making. These systems can
integrate data from sensors, weather forecasts, and market trends, assisting
farmers in optimizing resource allocation, crop rotation, and predicting
yields.

 Environmental Monitoring: IoT sensors can be deployed to
monitor environmental factors such as air quality, soil erosion, and water
quality in and around the farm. This data can be used to ensure compliance with
regulations, minimize environmental impact, and support sustainable farming
practices.

 The integration of IoT and robotics in agriculture and smart
farming offers significant advantages, including increased efficiency, reduced
costs, optimized resource utilization, and improved sustainability. By
leveraging these technologies, farmers can make data-driven decisions, enhance
productivity, and contribute to the development of a more sustainable food
production system.

About the skill internship: 

         VRITIKA’ is the call for
initiation and practice in science through Training and Skill Internship. This
program aims to provide opportunities to promising PG students from
universities and colleges to get exposure and hands-on research skill
development experience. Internships focuses on the applications of IoT
(Internet of Things) and robotics in agriculture and smart farming that can
provide valuable hands-on experience for postgraduate students. These
internships allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world
projects, gain practical skills, and enhance their understanding of emerging
technologies in the agricultural sector

 

Eligibility and selection: 

   Motivated students currently
pursuing their Post-graduate/ M.S./ M.E./ M. Tech./ Ph.D. degree
in any engineering discipline or Masters/PhD in agricultural and
allied fields from reputed Institutions/ Universities of India and
are interested in making career, doing projects or pursuing
research in the field of IoT and Robotics and its applications in
Agricultural sector. Five (5) candidates would be selected based
on criteria decided by duly formed committee for the purpose.
Candidates may also be interviewed based on recommendations
of the committee.


Venue: College of Agricultural Engineering &
Technology SKUAST-K Shalimar Srinagar J&K.
