We were honored to have Prof. ⁦⁦⁦Luca Carlone⁩ as our guest speaker of AVIATE series. You can watch his seminar at the link: aviate.illinois.edu/event/aviate-s…

Hats off to the team at @IntelinAir. Their platform has been essential in helping us work through real-time data with our growers on soil and crop performance. Keep doing big things! #agdata #sustainablefarming #agriculture

My feed these days has a major focus on two topics: LA fires and innovations in CES. Instead of the fancy vacuum cleaners with arms I rather see a gigantic machine/engine or a boat system in the ocean that could direct the water from the ocean to extinguish the wild fires.

#AGMRI is again included in CropLife Media Group's annual list of the Best Agriculture Apps, highlighting the best mobile apps in #ag and insights from industry experts on how #AI impacts their development and use. See the list: bit.ly/3DLIXOF #AgTech #PrecisionAg #ML #farming

This month, we are excited to highlight the incredible female changemakers from Armenia and our global diaspora. 📷At FAST, we’ve been privileged to discover and connect with numerous #WomenOnAMission one of whom is Dr. Naira Hovakimyan

In celebration of #national_robotics_week, here is a cool demo from our lab.

End of academic year celebration as we say good bye to three members of the lab! We missed four of our PhD Students today. ❤️
