SoilSense

Automated Nutrient Monitoring and Irrigation System

About the Project

About Us

Welcome to SoilSense! We are a team of Electrical and Computer Engineering students from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) developing an innovative soil monitoring and irrigation system for smarter agriculture.

Soil health is essential for sustainable farming, yet effective monitoring and water management remain a challenge. Our solution integrates smart sensors and automated irrigation to measure moisture, nutrients, and environmental factors in real time, ensuring crops receive the right amount of water and nutrients for optimal growth.

This project is our opportunity to apply engineering to real-world challenges, exploring how technology can make farming more efficient, precise, and environmentally friendly.

Our Goals

-Develop a functional prototype to demonstrate our solution.

-Explore how our technology can be applied effectively.

-Document our progress.

-Collaborate to refine and expand our solution.
