ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:

This paper explores the potential of microcontrollers as electronic components in agricultural production within the concept of smart and precision agriculture. The technical architecture of a system based on the STM32F4 microcontroller that implements a multi-layered approach with integrated sensors and machine learning algorithms for predicting optimal agricultural treatments is analyzed. Extensions of the sensor platform, architectural system improvements, and implementation of advanced artificial intelligence techniques are proposed. The research points to the competitive advantages of microcontroller solutions in terms of cost savings, increased eficiency, and sustainability of agricultural production, with special reference to the potential for application in the Republic of Serbia.
