A robotic platform that enables spraying drone operations by serving as a mobile launchpad equipped with a water tank, chemical reservoirs, a mixer and a generator—all controlled via a cell phone.
A robot and drone system that identifies pineapple blooms and reconstructs their positions to optimize harvesting operations and improve labor efficiency, helping local commercial farm Dole Plantation overcome workforce shortages and sustain production.
We present Johnny, a reforestation robot that uses the Amiga mobile base, a robotic manipulator and a drilling mechanism to plant seedlings to reforest vast expanses of land, particularly marginal pastureland.
A deer deterrence system which uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to search for, detect, and deter deer from farms, preventing them from damaging farmers’ crops.
Our robot and drone automate soil salinity and moisture analysis by using drone-based gamma-ray spectral soil mapping to optimize in-field ground-based robotic soil sampling to reduce manual labor, increase soil mapping efficiency, and support precision agriculture for small to mid-sized coastal farms.
Our autonomous UAS tassel detection system improves farm efficiency by identifying hotspots of tassels in corn fields, allowing agricultural workers to target those areas for tassel removal, thus increasing the yield of hybrid corn seed farms.
