The primary goal of this VIPR team is to empower students by equipping them with practical skills and cutting-edge theoretical knowledge in the field of agricultural robotics. Through hands-on research, students will delve into concepts, algorithms, and technologies, which they will then apply to real-world agricultural problems. The concepts and technologies initiated by the students will be further developed through regular agricultural robotics projects. The team will focus on two distinct tracks: 1) plant-oriented track, where we will concentrate on developing or utilizing robotic technologies specifically tailored for crop management, and 2) animal-oriented track, where our emphasis will be on pioneering robotic solutions for poultry management.
Team Leads: Md Sultan Mahmud (Plant Pathology), Guoyu Lu (Electrical and Computer Engineering), Guoming Li (Poultry Science)
