TWO IoT (Internet-of-Things) and robotics-enabled experimental projects which focused on boosting production in the country’s agricultural sector were recognised at the Pikom ICT Awards in Kuala Lumpur.

Air Project, developed by SJK(C) Yuk Chai pupils, is aimed at performing small-scale farming activities at home and encourages the younger generation to take an interest in farming, while EdSense, created by KDU University College undergraduate students, is aimed at easing the monitoring work of crops and livestock for farmers while increasing production levels at a cost-effective manner.
