Ag-Bio Engineering: Department focuses on agricultural machinery and robotics and sensing based precision agriculture technologies and applications (mainly for tree fruit orchards). The research tasks mainly include laboratory and field data collection with ground robotic systems and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), data processing and analysis.
