Project A2230: Leveraging Airborne and Ground-Based Drones, Canopy Modelling, Digital Twin Technology, and AI Robotics for Climate-Adaptive Vineyard Management in UK Viticulture.
UK vineyards face increasing climate variability, with more frequent and unpredictable weather patterns. Precision viticulture aims to optimize vineyard inputs to adapt to climate changes using data-driven technologies. Read more
Protecting Wildlife in Sub-Saharan African with Imaging Drones and Human-in-the-Loop AI Systems
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at University College London*. The Subtropics and Savannas in Sub-Saharan Africa harbour some of the greatest diversities of large terrestrial mammals in the world. Read more
Autonomous Robotic Management of York Institute for Safe Autonomy Solar Farm
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
With the commissioning of a new solar power farm for research at York's institute for Safe Autonomy, we are looking for enthusiastic students with an interest in creating robots that can move between solar panel arrays to autonomously perform cleaning, inspection, mapping, and site maintenance tasks.
