Research overview.
- Developing automatic driving technology for pesticide sprayers in environments where GPS cannot be received, such as in orchards, for more precise pesticide application.
- Developing sensing and feedback technology to understand the status of pesticide application to optimise pesticide application.
Basis for the plan, state of preparation
- Continuation of cluster projects in agricultural machinery technology.
- Advanced research (budding): Development of a high-frequency, power-supplied water sensor for real-time measurement and control of pesticide application.
- Field use of the farm attached to the Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Kyoto University
