Autonomous mobile robots are widely applied in agriculture. In particular, with the rapid development of information and communication technologies, academic research and commercial products with respect to miniaturized, multi-function or specialized robots as well as robots with high levels of intelligence have developed vigorously in recent years, which leads to fierce competition and rapid generational changes. In the livestock industry, advanced technologies can be introduced into the poultr

In the 1990s, the Ministry of Agriculture promoted the cultivation of vegetable seedlings in plug trays, and guided the nursery operators in mechanical sowing and facility cultivation to ensure stable production. Up to now, there have been more than 200 vegetable nursery operators and the industry have become fairly mature. In recent years, we are facing problems such as agricultural manpower aging, shortage of labor force, and climate change, the vegetable seedling industry has bottlenecks

Currently in Taiwan pineapple is a major fresh fruit for export in terms of amount, thus the control and upgrade of fruit quality is essential to the sustainable development of the industry. However, pineapple industry requires large labor input involved with planting, management, forcing, harvest and packing. As labor force aged and dwindling, the introduction of automatic and smart techniques is crucial and primary to the key solution of labor shortage. This project aims to develop monitoring

Greenhouse agriculture has attracted significant interest recently for its pivotal role in enhancing food security and optimizing crop yields. Nonetheless, the accurate and safe application of pesticides within greenhouses remains a persistent challenge, particularly concerning potential hazards posed to farmers by prolonged pesticide exposure. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to develop an automated pesticide spraying vehicle tailored for greenhou

In today's agriculture, the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way how we grow crops. With increasing demands on food production and the growing need for efficiency, AI is stepping in to provide farmers with powerful tools for improving their operations. One such tool is image recognition, which has emerged asset for assessing seedling quality in nurseries. For crops like cabbages, ensuring seedling health and uniformity is critical to a succe

“Common Information Platform” (abbreviated as CIP) established by Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute (abbreviated as TARI) can introduce the “Digital Twin” technology into the vegetable and fruit greenhouse by collecting big data.

Since 2011, the Fisheries Research Institute has developed test kits for pathogenic bacteria such as vibrio vulnificus, lactobacillus and Edwardsiella. These used to take 1-2 days to confirm the test results.

Accord to the paper of 2020 Agricultural Statistics Yearbook, there is 16.67 billion NT dollars of livestock production and reaching 33.5% of agriculture production in Taiwan. Production of livestock to sort was 1st hogs, 2nd broilers, 3rd layers, 4th cow milk and 5th mule & muscovery ducks and these productions were 71.4, 46.4, 21.4, 11.4 and 7.5 billion NT dollars, respectively. Accounting the year production were 10.41 and 19.75 million were hogs farm and cow milk farm. But also these are lab

The tea industry is dominated by labor-intensive and experience-intensive small-scale farmers. In recent years, due to the aging of the agricultural population, there has been a substantial shortage of agricultural labor. With the abnormal climate year after year, the cultivation and management of tea gardens are also challenged by extreme weather. Instability of tea yield has seriously affected farmers' income. Therefore, labor-saving machinery is urgently needed to assist the development of th
