TIFTON, Ga. (Farm Monitor) — Researchers at the University of Georgia are using artificial intelligence and other technology to help manage weeds and insects.
UGA professional engineer Dr. Glen Rains developed a robotic rover that uses cameras and AI to identify herbicide-resistant pigweed, then uses lasers or mechanical methods to remove it.
Rains and his team have also developed a remote insect trap that photographs insects and sends the images online, allowing researchers to monitor and identify them remotely.
