Our research goal is to design and utilize robust robotic platforms and cutting edge computer vision and machine learning methods to tackle agricultural challenges, and work to build a more sustainable future. This work would not be possible without financial support. With continued support BSAIL and its collaborators can continue to grow and develop engineering solutions for today and tomorrow’s biggest agricultural challenges.
