No matter the turf, there’s a lot of science behind mowing. In this video, our turf doctor, Dr. Ben Hamza, talks about the importance of innovation in mowing with the help of Sebastian, our smart robotic mower. 🤖 Keeping watch over the height, frequency, and length of mowing based on the grass type is crucial to maintain all the quality attributes of a good playing surface. That’s why we’re always investing in the latest innovations in turf and landscape, to help superintendents improve their decision-making process. Learn about why the science of mowing matters. 👇 #TurfManagement #AgTech

Are you attending #ICRA24, the most prestigious robotic conference? Please join us to see our papers' presentation. We are presenting two papers this year: "Distributed Multi-Robot Online Sampling with Budget Constraints" (ThAT9-CC Oral Session, CC-419, Task Planning) This paper proposes an online, distributed multi-robot sampling algorithm based on Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) (Reinforcement Learning), in which robots iteratively select sampling locations based on communication and budget constraints. "Robotic Assessment of a Crop's Need for Watering: Automating a Time-Consuming Task to Support Sustainable Agriculture" (ThAT24-NT Oral Session, NT-G402, Robotics and Automation in Agriculture and Forestry II) This paper develops a robotic system capable of collecting and analyzing plant specimens. In this paper, a mobile robot autonomously selects multiple measurement locations for sample collection based on Q-Learning (Reinforcement Learning) and then the in-house designed end-effector mounted on the robot's arm will be used to retrieve the leaves . Furthermore, RGBD camera and lidar point clouds are used to select potential leaf. https://lnkd.in/ghkGX-Pb

LetsGrow.com is advancing crop data technology through innovative NXTGEN Hightech projects aimed at improving greenhouse management. Here’s an overview of the projects we have worked on and are currently developing: 🌱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 In collaboration with Hoogendoorn Growth Management, we are developing a sensor to accurately measure crop evaporation, with successful trials underway at Tomatoworld. 🌱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Growers will soon be able to take photos of sticky cards to automatically count whiteflies and thrips, with a dashboard for pest data tracking as the next step. 🌱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟯𝗗 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 Developed with Sobolt, our 3D plant scanner measures characteristics like head thickness and stem length, evolving into the LetsGrow.com 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽 launched in August 2024. Stay tuned for more developments as we progress in data-driven growing.   #innovation #empoweringgrowers #sustainability #datadrivengrowing

ZenMeasure's state-of-the-art wireless sensors have now been integrated at Elegant Sweet Potato in Yunnan, spanning 160 greenhouse seedling centers. This fusion of technology and precision agriculture is paving the way for enhanced management techniques. Hear from their CEO on the innovative applications and benefits of this deployment. #TechInAgri #PrecisionFarming #WirelessMonitoringSolution #ZenMeasure

Since I started at Altium® friends and family have been asking me about why I'm so excited about software for electronics design and product lifecycle management. After years of personal focus on sustainable agriculture and professional experience with big data and business process collaboration, it seems to be a bit of a swerve. Actually, what we're doing at #Altium365 is just the type of convergence that I've been waiting/working for. For example, Muddy Machines makes products that take software and electric robots into the fields to harvest crops amidst labor shortages. If you ask me whether I'm into sustainable agriculture, software or manufacturing, I say "yes please." You've heard the famous prediction that "software will eat the world". It will also feed it. Check out this video on how Altium 365 speeds collaboration to solve age-old farming challenges. It comes with a side of asparagus.

Great forward thinking seminar on robotics, considerations for future planning and how to shift yourself and others in the business to be more effective!

A wave of wealth, and land is going to be transferred soon, are we ready for it? Agriculture is the next technology boom whether it's traditional, indoor, in-space, under-sea, and many more!💡🌎🌱🚜 https://lnkd.in/eBVWXeXE

Autonomy like you've never seen! We just revealed four new autonomous machines. “Our agriculture, construction, and commercial landscaping customers all have work that must get done at certain times of the day and year, yet there is not enough available and skilled labor to do the work,” said Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer. “Autonomy can help address this challenge. That’s why we’re extending our technology stack to enable more machines to operate safely and autonomously in unique and complex environments. This will not only benefit our customers, but all of us who rely on them to provide the food, fuel, fiber, infrastructure, and landscaping care that we depend on every day.” Press Release: http://spr.ly/6040vIQAr
