Intelligent Robots -Multi Operation Robots
Growth information collecting system
We are developing the plant growth information collecting system by recording the photosynthesis of plants using chlorophyll fluorescence imaging and the diagnostic transpiration function measuring foliar temperature.
Cucumber harvesting system
We are developing the cucumber harvesting system that recognizes the fruit using a distance sensor.
Pest controlling
Physical pest controlling
pest monitoring system using adhesive sheets
It is possible to prevent pests in the early stages by careful monitoring.
Physical pest controlling using sound waves
We are studying the frequency band that is found to be a deterrent to pests by analyzing the sounds of natural enemies such as carnivorous bees.
Hybrid pest controlling by using Ozone water
We are developing a hybrid pest controlling robot that can apply and choose Ozone water and chemicals.
Airflow control in intelligent greenhouses
Airflow measurement
We are measuring airflow by using a wind tunnel-type chamber by the PIV method and a hot‐wire anemometer.
Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis
We reproduce the airflow of intelligent greenhouses using a numerical simulation.
Electric-powered farm machinery
Energy saving electric system for an electric tractor
We are aiming to construct the best electrical system for an electric tractor.
