1. Performance Evaluation Of A Prototype Variable Rate Sprayer For Spot- Application Of Agrochemicals In Wild Blueberry FieldsWild blueberry yields are highly dependent on agrochemicals for adequate weed control. The excessive use of agrochemicals with uniform application in significant bare spots and plant areas has resulted in increased cost of production. A cost-effective automated prototype variable rate (VR) sprayer was developed for spot-application (SA) of agrochemicals in a specific section of the sprayer boom where the weeds have been detected. The weed patches were mapped with an RTK-GPS... Q. Zaman, A.W. Schumann, D.C. Percival, T.J. Esau, S.M. Read |
2. Design Of ECU Monitoring System For Agricultural Vehicle Based On ISO 11783International standard for implementation of electronic control unit (ECU) in agricultural tractors has been requirement for inter-operation compatibility of various agricultural vehicles. The ISO 11783 standard is basically based on communication technology designated using the controller area network (CAN), it is typical standard technology for implementation of ECU in agricultural vehicle. CAN bus Communication system was developed to the distribution control of ECUs to... W. Yang , S. Kim, J. Moon, D. Kim |
3. Real-Time Control of Spray Drop ApplicationElectrostatic application of spray drops provides unique opportunities to precisely control the application of pesticides due to the additional electrostatic force on the spray drops, in addition to the normally seen forces of aerodynamic drag, gravity, and inertia. In this work, we develop a computational model to predict the spray drop trajectories. The model is validated through experiments with high speed photography of spray drop trajectories, and quantification of which trajectories lead... S. Post, M. Jermy, P. Gaynor, N. Kabaliuk, A.

4. AI-based Pollinator Using CoreXY RobotThe declining populations of natural pollinators pose a significant ecological challenge, often attributed to the adverse effects of pesticides and intensive farming practices. To address the critical issue of pollination in the face of diminishing natural pollinators, we are pioneering an AI-based pollinator that utilizes a CoreXY pollination system. This solution aims to augment pollination efforts in agriculture, increasing yields and crop quality while mitigating the adverse impacts of pesticide... H. Kulhandjian, M. Kulhandjian, D. Rocha, B.

6. AI-based Fruit Harvesting Using a Robotic ArmFruit harvesting stands as a pivotal and delicate process within the agricultural industry, demanding precision and efficiency to ensure both crop quality and overall productivity. Historically reliant on manual labor, this labor-intensive endeavor has taken a significant leap forward with the advent of autonomous jointed robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our project aims to usher in a new era in fruit harvesting, leveraging advanced technology to perform this essential task autonomously... H. Kulhandjian, N. Amely, M. Kulhandjian |
7. Almonds and Pistachios: Sustaining Legacy, Innovations, and Nutritional Advancements in CaliforniaCalifornia's unique Mediterranean climate has made it the global epicenter for tree nut production, providing nearly 99 percent of the nation’s almond and pistachio supply. The California tree nut industry is characterized by its deep-rooted heritage, with 90% of its farms being family-owned and operated, often spanning multiple generations. These farmers have been at the forefront of agricultural innovation, investing approximately millions of dollars annually in scientific research... H. Kulhandjian, S. Asci |
