1. Spatio-Temporal Sampling-Point Allocation for High-Density Robotic Pest Monitoring and Precision Treatment

Efficient monitoring of pests in crops, such as the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), is essential for optimizing pesticide application and minimizing yield losses. However, conventional manual scouting is labor-intensive and costly, limiting spatial coverage and sampling frequency. Consequently, infestation hotspots are often detected too late, reducing the effectiveness of timely and targeted interventions. This limitation... D. Levanon, Y. Cohen, R. Gafni, L. Shmuel, Y. Edan
