To support the hypothesis that embracing robotics has the potential to address farming challenges and, at the same time, replace large and complex farm machinery, this article proposes designing a farm around a heterogeneous robotic system dubbed Structured Ecological Cultivation With Autonomous Robots in Agriculture (SPECULARIA). This multirobot system has mobile robots … [Read more...] about Structured Ecological Cultivation With Autonomous Robots in Agriculture: Toward a Fully Autonomous Robotic Indoor Farming System

Vision-Based Cow Tracking and Feeding Monitoring for Autonomous Livestock Farming: The YOLOv5s-CA+DeepSORT-Vision Transformer
Animal tracking and feeding monitoring is crucial for automatic individual cow welfare measurement and naturally becomes a prerequisite for autonomous livestock farming systems. The deformable body posture and irregular movement of cows under complex farming environments make tracking of individual animals in a herd very challenging. To tackle the above challenge, a deep … [Read more...] about Vision-Based Cow Tracking and Feeding Monitoring for Autonomous Livestock Farming: The YOLOv5s-CA+DeepSORT-Vision Transformer
