Oliners in the lab of Kenechukwu C. Mbanisi, assistant professor of robotics engineering, are continuing their work in agricultural robotics by developing an automated drone that can help farmers better and more effectively measure and monitor their soil health. 🌾🧑‍🌾 Last year, Mbanisi’s students collaborated with certified-organic Powisset Farm in Dover, MA, to create a weeding robot that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. This year, they are working together on a new way to help meet the distinctive needs of small- to medium-sized farms using #engineering. 👉 Read the new story... (fb)
