Modeling and Analysis for High Efficiency Flexible Intelligent Farming Tools: Phase I - Autonomous Weed Control
From BioMASS Laboratory Wiki
Autonomous Weed Control
- Funded in part by the Illinois Council on Food and Agriculture Research
The purpose of this project is to supplement weed control methods as an alternative in scenarios where chemical usage is no longer feasible. This work will focus on the identification of a key set of novel robotic and agronomical innovations through iterative simulation and experimentation aimed at improving agricultural production systems by increasing efficiency, reducing manpower needs, energy requirements, and increasing environmental and economic sustainability. A meta-data analysis is the current focus of this work, leading to the provision of an infrastructure for a flexible modeling platform capturing the stated issues.
