Sharing our #AgRobotocs work on this comference on FIRA USA - Automation and Robotics in Ag, Fresno, CA.. AgAID Institute FIRA WSU CPAAS

Our work could not be possible without the support of our weather data champion AgWeatherNet (weather.wsu.edu). We want to recognize them for helping farmers, researchers, and policymakers to improve agricultural production, efficiency, and profitability through data.

Honored to have "social activist", philanthropist, innovator Dr. Mahabir Pun sharing his insightful thoughts and the vision on uplifting the least developed countries to the develop category.. his work from the foothills of himalayas is highly inspiring.. #AgRobotics WSU CPAAS

WSU WSU CPAAS #AgRobotics team members arrived in the most beautiful Japanese city of Kyoto to share our findings on robotic crop-load management and learn from the experts from around the world during "The XX CIGR World Congress". Uddhav Bhattarai @RanjanS81364188

WSU WSU CPAAS director Dr. Qin Zhang giving a plenary talk on #AgCybernetics at CIGR world congress here in Kyoto, Japan. Our #AgRobotics work was well represented with additional presentations by Uddhav Bhattarai on robotic thinning and by @RanjanS81364188 on pollination.

This week at WSU CAHNRS WSU Prosser IAREC WSU CPAAS #AgRobotics, thanks to scientists Jochen Hemming and Menno Sytsma from Wageningen University & Research (Wageningen U&R) ; and the incredible team of our students and scholars. Thanks much to Allan Brothers Fruit as well.

Our robot is active in the field during the early fruit growing season. WSU CPAAS Manoj Karkee #agriculture #automation #warthog

Current working demonstration of our Robot Prototype for green fruitlet thinning in commercial orchards of Washington State, USA. We are developing a fully automated fruit thinning robot prototype for automated crop load management in crop growing season Manoj Karkee WSU CPAAS

Robotic intervention enhances orchard productivity through optimized green fruit control. Our students, Ranjan Sapkota & Dawood Ahmed, are working hard on the design, integration, & field implementation of the green fruit thinning robot. WSU CAHNRS, WSU Prosser IAREC, WSU CPAAS #AgRobotics

AI Agents vs. Agentic AI Interesting paper summarizing distinctions between AI Agents and Agentic AI. It also talks about the key ideas, solutions, and the future. Here are my notes:

Beautiful New Paper: AI Agents vs. Agentic AI → AI Agents react to prompts; Agentic AI initiates and coordinates tasks. → Agentic AI includes orchestrators and meta-agents to assign and oversee sub-agents. 🧠 The Core Concepts AI Agents and Agentic AI are often confused as

This is a VERY solid paper that compares vibe coding and agentic coding. It looks at how they differ, target use cases, and technology considerations. Worth a read. arxiv.org/abs/2505.19443
