1. Development of a PWM Precision Spraying System for Unmanned HelicopterApplication of protection materials is a crucial component in the high productivity of agriculture. Motivated by the needs of aerial precision application, in this paper we present a pulse width modulation (PWM) based precision spraying system for unmanned helicopter. The system is composed of the tank, pipelines, pump, nozzles and the automatic control unit. The system can spray with a constant rate automatically when the speed of the UAV fluctuates between 1 m/s to 8 m/s. The application rate... R. Zhang, L. Chen, T. Yi, Y. Guo, H. Zhang |
2. Creating a Comprehensive Software Framework for Sensor-driven Precision AgricultureRobots and GPS-guided tractors are the backbone of smart farming and precision agriculture. Many companies and vendors contribute to the market, each offering their own customized solutions for common tasks. These developments are often based on vendor-specific, proprietary components, protocols and software. Many small companies that produce sensors, actuators or software for niche applications could contribute their expertise to the global efforts of creating smart farming solutions, if their... O.

3. Cherry Yield Forecast: Harvest Prediction for Individual Sweet Cherry TreesDigitalization continues to transform the agricultural sector as a whole and also affects specific niches like horticulture. Particularly in fruit and wine production, the focus is on the application of sensor systems and data analysis aiming at automated detection of drought stress or pests in vineyards or orchards. As part of the “For5G” project, we are developing an end-to-end methodology for the creation of digital twins of fruit trees, with a strong focus... A. Gilson, L. Meyer, A. Killer, F. Keil, O.

4. Application of Advanced Soft Computing to Estimate Potato Tuber Yield: a Case Study from Atlantic CanadaThe potato crop plays a crucial role in the economy of Atlantic Canada, particularly in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, where it contributes significantly to potato production. To help farmers make informed decisions for sustainable and profitable farming, this study was conducted to examine the variations in potato tuber yield based on thirty soil properties collected over four growing seasons through experimental trials. The study employed an advanced and explainable ensemble model called... Q.U. Zaman, A. Farooque, M. Jamei, T.J. Esau |
