AI-Powered Aerial-Ground Collaborative Mobile System for Precision Spraying to Enhance Sustainable Agriculture

Project Abstract: Remarkable increases in the use of synthetic herbicides have been reported for weed control. However, up to 98% of crop spray does not stay on the plants and flows into the environment, causing soil and water pollution. Therefore, reducing herbicide use is critically needed to develop resilient and sustainable agriculture, and it has significant positive impacts on public health, society, and the ecological environment. In this initiative, we aim to develop an AI-powered aerial-ground collaborative mobile system for precision spraying to reduce herbicide use.
