Smart agriculture ICT: Realization of a new data platform utilizing agricultural robots
The purpose of this research is to use ICT to build a completely new data platform for agriculture. Our robots will sense various data in fields and map it using SLAM technology, thereby supporting farmers by digitizing the status of fields, such as predicting yields, analyzing nutrients that are lacking in the soil, and the occurrence of pests and diseases. Furthermore, it will be possible to provide value to various entities, for example by providing pest and disease data to pesticide manufacturers, allowing them to prepare stocks of pesticides in advance, in anticipation of growing demand. The goal of this research is for the robots to obtain raw data, analyze it, and then make it available for viewing on a platform on the website as useful data.
