In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), the Indian Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB) is developing an automated greenhouse system for bringing precision to agriculture. The project, called AutoGrow, will work on a data sensing system, which is being created using the Internet of Things (IoT). In Western countries, they have completely automated houses that even control temperature, humidity, climactic parameters, and many other conditions. The IoT sensors which will be put in the soil will detect the water needs and nutrient needs of the crops. The AI/ML models will then deliver water and nutrients accordingly, as the sensors will also be put inside the tanks or containers.
