Conversational User Interface Integration in Controlling IoT Devices Applied to Smart Agriculture: Analysis of a Chatbot System Design

Abstract

Smart Agriculture is a considerably novel approach which attempts to encounter the climate change challenges as well as the increased global nutritional needs through the adoption of automated and ICT directed innovative technologies. Since the latest solutions for Smart Agriculture employ cloud services and advanced interconnectivity methods which consolidate the Internet of Things (IoT) technology features along with the ubiquity and mobility attributes granted by smart devices, the necessity of extreme customization, enabling the remote interaction of the objects, is creating the need for sophisticated interfaces. Moreover, in order to achieve the maximum possible penetration of IoT technologies in the agricultural sector it is essential to establish interaction methods among users, applications and systems through interfaces which are simple and friendly in end-usage. Herewith, in this paper an attempt is made to encounter this issue through the integration of Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) in controlling IoT devices for Smart Agriculture. The proposed approach introduces the design and indicative usage of a chatbot system which employs a messenger service platform environment in natural language so as to provide an efficient, secure and user-friendly framework of interaction with the IoT devices deployed for agricultural purposes.
