U of G Researcher Uses AI Robots to Fight Crop Disease
A University of Guelph researcher is using artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to improve how crop diseases are detected and managed, making the process faster, more accurate and more efficient for farmers.
Dr. Gurjit Randhawa, a professor in the School of Computer Science within the College of Computational, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences, collaborated with Dr. Aitazaz Faroque of the University of Prince Edward Island to apply machine learning tools to detect crop diseases in potato fields on Canada’s Atlantic coast.
