Michelle has a chat with Dr Charlie Li, professor of Agricultural AI and Automation at the University of Florida and an IFAS AI Administrative Coordinator.
Dr. Li’s long-term research goal is to develop agricultural AI and automation technologies to ensure an efficient and resilient agri-food chain to support the growing world population sustainably. The innovative technologies developed by Li’s group play a critical role in addressing pressing challenges facing modern agriculture such as breeding resilient and climate-smart crops, mitigating labor shortages for harvesting specialty crops and managing weeds, as well as minimizing postharvest food losses.
Here is one video on phenotyping robots which features those talked about in the show (including for blueberries, peanut yield and disease scouting)
