1. World Patent Map Analysis Of Mechanization Technologies Relatitng To Rice ProductionPatents comprise a unique source for technological knowledge. They are considered to be a good proxy for invention skills, R&D activities and for the scope of technological innovation of countries, regions, sectors and firms. Rice is one of the main field crops. The research focuses on patent mechanization technologies of soil working, planting and harvesting of rice production. Based on DWPI patent database and TI patent analysis software. The temporal examination by publication year... X. Wang, Y. Hu, Z. Yi |
2. Active Optical Sensor Algorithms For Corn Yield Prediction And In-Season N Application In North DakotaA recent series of seventy seven field N rate experiments with corn (Zea mays, L.) in North Dakota was conducted. Multiple regression analysis of the characteristics of the data set indicated that segregating the data into those with high clay soils and those with medium textures increased the relationship between N rate and corn yield. However, the nearly linear positive slope relationship in high clay soils and coarser texture soils with lower yield productivity indicated... L. Sharma, H. Bu, R. Ashley, G. Endres, J. Teboh, D.W.

3. R2B2 Project: Design and Construction of a Low-cost and Efficient Autonomous UGV For Row Crop MonitoringDriving the adoption of agricultural technological advancements like Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) by small-scale farmers (SSFs) is a major concern for researchers and agricultural organizations. They aim for the adoption of precision farming (PF) by SSFs to increase crop yield to meet the increasing demand for food due to population growth. In the United States, the cost of purchasing and maintaining rugged UGVs capable of precision agricultural operations stands as a barrier to the adoption... J.O. Kemeshi, S. Gummi, Y. Chang |
4. Botanix Explorer (BX1): Precision Plant Phenotyping Robot Detecting Stomatal Openings for Precision Irrigation and Drought Tolerance ExperimentsUnder drought conditions, the kidney-shaped organs on the epidermal surface of plants, called stomata, are crucial to plant health. During transpiration, the stomata, which resemble pores, open and close. When the rate of photosynthesis is balanced, plants can withstand droughts by decreasing their stomatal transpiration. Drought-stressed plants are characterized by a higher number of open stomata. Measuring the pore aperture ratio is essential for precisely quantifying the degree of stomatal... S. Gummi, J.O. Kemeshi, Y. Chang |
5. Securing Agricultural Imaging Data in Smart Agriculture: a Blockchain-based Approach to Mitigate Cybersecurity Threats and Future InnovationsSmart agriculture (SA) is a new technology that combines the Internet of Things (IoT) with a variety of smart devices, such as drones, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and computer systems. The integration of technology improvements in SA has led to an increase in cybersecurity concerns, specifically pertaining to the protection of sensitive agricultural image data. It’s necessary to better understand SA network systems; establish stronger network structures; identify different types and... M. Alahe, S. Gummi, J.O. Kemeshi, Y. Chang |
6. Voronoi-based Ant Colony Optimization Approach: Autonomous Robotic Swarm Navigation for Crop Disease DetectionThe early detection of agricultural diseases is essential for sustaining food production and economic viability over the long term. To improve disease detection in agriculture, this paper presents an innovative computational approach that utilizes the Voronoi-based Ant Colony Optimization (V-ACO) algorithm with Swarm Robotics (SR). Inspired by the social behaviors observed in insect colonies such as honeybees and ants, SR offers new opportunities for precision farming. SR utilizes the coordinated... S. Gummi, M. Alahe, Y.

7. Design of an Automatic Travelling Electric Fence System for Sustainable Grazing ManagementFences are used in Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) to prevent herbivores from overgrazing and under grazing forages. While effective in controlling animal entry and exit, traditional fences are not flexible enough to meet the needs of both foraging animals and plants in terms of both nutrient availability and physiological demands. An electric fencing system is a form of traditional fencing that employs an electric charge to create a barrier and dissuade animals or people from crossing it. Even... M. Alahe, Y. Chang, J.O.
