Abstract :

Many activities that required human intervention in the past are now less visible than before with the increasing advancement of information and communication technology. Many activities, whether simple or complex mental computing activities or physical activities, have given way to the world of information technology. The internet of Things is one of the cases that, in addition to helping human labor, has also caused the loss of employment for many people today. Here, we will use the Internet of Things to help with one of the difficult and dangerous jobs. Camels are one of the expensive and valuable livestock that, due to their environment conditions, sometimes require grazing in the desert areas; therefore, we cannot expect a herdsman to always accompany them. In this article, we will look at the location of camels using clustering and with the help of Internet of Thing, so that in the absence of a herdsman with the herd, we can check the location of these animals and be informed about the health of the animals. With this method, we were able to cluster the camels within 5, 10 and 20 meters of each other and inform the main server about their presence or absence in the clusters.
