IoT and drones have been merged rapidly for their respective fields, and their convergence is expected to create high added-value applications in near future. In this paper, we introduce a novel of integrating an IoT with a drone to provide converged services of well-known an IoT open standard and an autonomous drone. The paper explains the role of a drone in an IoT according to related work and demonstrates our convergence system architecture. A prototype and its validation are provided.
