The lab studies precision agriculture and agricultural robots that apply AI and IoT to farming.

AboutAbout the lab
Delivering agricultural inputs precisely with AI and IoT
The Biological Production Machinery Lab conducts research on precision agriculture technologies, agricultural robots, and decision support systems.
The production of crops, fruit trees, and livestock varies by location and by season, even within the same field, depending on soil, nutrient, and environmental conditions.
To respond to this variability, the lab studies smart systems that apply IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) to agriculture.
The lab's website also introduces ground-based remote sensing and the development and management of agricultural machinery as research areas.
Key terms
- Precision agriculture
- A technology that carries out farming operations according to differences in soil and environmental conditions across locations and times within a field
- IoT
- A technology that connects various objects to the internet so that they can exchange and use data
- Remote sensing
- A technology that obtains data by observing a target from a distance
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to use IoT and AI to respond to the production of crops, fruit trees, and livestock, which varies by location and time depending on soil and environmental conditions. Its listed research areas are agricultural robots, remote sensing with GIS and satellites together with decision support, and the development and management of agricultural machinery.
