Agricultural Robotic Systems in Greenhouses

Objectives

• To enable early detection of stresses and diseases in plants growing in a greenhouse
• Intelligent coordination of semi-automated multi-agent system via an Integrated Task Planner
• Collaboration algorithms for human-robot-sensors-crop interaction to manage dynamic conditions.

Methodology

• Design of cyber-physical system for semi-automated greenhouse monitoring
• A HUB-CI based model for the Integrated Task Planner
• Adaptive collaboration algorithms for routing and searching within greenhouse
• Human in the loop simulations for agricultural telerobotics.

Applications

• Agricultural Cyber Physical System for Monitoring, Detecting and Responding (Source: Guo et al., 2018)

• Collaborative remote teleoperation of robot
