Mobile Agriculture Automation System

The impact of environment and other surrounding parameters on local agriculture quality and individuals exposure are major public policy concerns and have stimulated a substantial body of research aimed at improving underlying automated robotic technologies and parametric management schemes to minimize the impact of environment changes on the field. A particularly exciting direction for future development of such environmental sensor data sources is the use of mobile system and people themselves as platforms for outward facing environmental sensor systems, enabling them to operate as mobile environmental probes. This project aims to address these challenges by combination and extension of sensor and positioning technologies, data fusion, traveller behavior, traffic modeling and surveillance based on combinations of software and hardware vehicle mounted sensors.
