1. Flourish - A Robotic Approach for Automation in Crop ManagementThe Flourish project aims to bridge the gap between current and desired capabilities of agricultural robots by developing an adaptable robotic solution for precision farming. Combining the aerial survey capabilities of a small autonomous multi-copter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with a multi-purpose agricultural Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), the system will be able to survey a field from the air, perform targeted intervention on the ground, and provide detailed information for decision support,...

2. Invasive and Non-Invasive Technology for Measuring Water Content of Crop Leaves in Greenhouse HorticultureMoisture status in the crop is closely related to various physiological activities of the crop. If we can measure the moisture status in the crop in real time, we can understand the photosynthetic activity, which is an important physiological activity for growing crops, and the movement of the product from photosynthesis. Therefore, we verified it is possible to measure water content of crop leaves nondestructively using invasive method and non-invasive method. As a non-invasive measurement method,... H. Umeda, K.

3. Machine Learning Algorithms in Detecting Long-term Effect of Climatic Factors for Alfalfa Production in KansasThe water levels of the Ogallala Aquifer are depleting so much that agricultural land returns in Kansas are expected to drop by $34.1 million by 2050. It is imperative to understand how frequent droughts and the contrasting rates of groundwater withdrawal and recharge are affected by climate shifts in Kansas. Alfalfa, the ‘Queen of Forages’, is a water demanding crop which supplies high nutritional feed for beef industry that offered Kansas producers a $500 million production value... F. Nazrul, J.

4. Prediction of Field-scale Evapotranspiration Using Process Based Modeling and Geostatistical Time-series InterpolationIrrigation scheduling depends on the combination of evaporative demand from the atmosphere, spatial and temporal heterogeneity in soil properties and changes in crop canopy during a growing season. This on-farm trial is based on data collected in 72-acre processing tomato field in Central Valley of California. The Multiband Spectrometric Arable Mark 2 sensors at three different locations in the field. Multispectral and thermal imagery provided by Ceres Imaging were collected eight times during... G.

5. Thermoelectric Infrared Sensor Integrated with SHA AbsorberThis paper details the design of a high-performance thermoelectric infrared (IR) sensor using the UMC 0.18 μm CMOS-MEMS process, targeting the 8–14 μm wavelength for applications like IoT. To enhance performance, the sensor integrates two key innovations: a Sub-Wavelength Hole Array (SHA) absorber and a novel double-layer thermopile structure with 64 pairs of thermocouples. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations show the SHA structure achieves an average IR absorptivity of... Z. Dai |
