Food security is an essential challenge for society, especially in the face of climate change and increasing world population. The food security challenge is addressed by this project, which aims to develop cyber-collaborative design and control algorithms and protocols for agricultural robotic systems (ARS). The ARS is designed to monitor, detect, and respond to different types of plant stresses to ensure reliable quality and productivity. This ARS cyber-physical system involves various agents: human farmers and farm workers, agricultural scientists and experts, agricultural autonomous robots and drones, and cyber-physical environments, including sensors. These agents must collaborate intelligently to overcome agricultural production and crops' unstructured and ever-changing conditions.
This project addresses the challenges of food security and real-time AI-based robotic automation. We develop Computational models for harmonizing telerobotic and human control/decision-making with agricultural robots and drones.
