Research Projects / Patents

Automated Pest Control Device

The device continuously monitors the environment for pest activity. Upon detection, it activates a species-specific deterrent or elimination method, minimizing collateral impact on non-target organisms. The system allows remote access and customization of settings through an integrated software platform, enhancing usability and efficiency

Rigid tine cultivar

The rigid tine cultivator comprises a main frame, multiple rigid tines, and a mounting assembly for attachment to a tractor or similar agricultural machinery. The tines are manufactured from reinforced steel or composite materials to prevent bending under high stress. The cultivator is designed to operate at varying depths, ensuring effective soil aeration and weed disruption without excessive soil displacement.

AI based entomology observation device

The AI-based entomology observation device comprises a high-resolution imaging system, an AI-powered processor, and environmental sensors. The device captures insect images, processes them using deep learning algorithms, and classifies species based on morphological characteristics. The system integrates with cloud storage for remote data access and analysis.

Drone in agriculture goods transport

The agricultural goods transport drone consists of a durable frame, a multi-rotor propulsion system, a secure payload compartment, and an intelligent navigation system. The drone is designed to carry various types of agricultural goods over short to medium distances with high precision and minimal human intervention.
