TERRA-MEPP

With @arpae support, TERRA-MEPP is developing a low-cost, autonomous phenotyping robot that identifies top-performing #biofuel crops:

Our scientists monitor crop photosynthesis, performance throughout the growing season using invisible light. Their goal is to one-day monitor fields on a global scale, evaluating conditions and forecasting yields in real time. https://t.co/IV36dcbdsy

We're in the @nytimes! "The data collected by the TerraSentia is changing breeding from a reactionary process into a more predictive one."

Registration now open to present a poster or talk for 'in silco plants' session at #SEBAMM 2019 via @SEBiology. Join us! https://t.co/oaVBcHlfTL

[TERRA-MEPP @TERRA_MEPP]

@TERRA_MEPP has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in @CBernacchi’s lab. We’re looking for candidates with a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering, Remote Sensing, Plant Biology, Crop Sciences, or a related field. Learn more at https://t.co/YVozZxYUzT. Help us spread the word!

[ARC CoETP @leaf2field]

A step closer to automating #sorghum head counts! Read this new publication @FrontPlantSci https://t.co/eJhJLs2deh. Authors include @ABPotgieter and @SorgGuy from @leaf2field and @QAAFI and international collaborators from University of Tokyo and France.

Eric Snodgrass from @illinois_alma and @AgribleInc mentions how likely more downpours will be in the future—making nutrient application and retention key. https://t.co/RGNkvkMckf One day soon, @TERRA_MEPP’s robot Terrasentia could help farmers monitor their field to minimize risk

The @TERRA_MEPP robot could help shape the future of farming. These robots will someday help farmers find diseases and control pests: https://t.co/BgtlnmqEFo. @wqad

[TERRA-MEPP @TERRA_MEPP]

@TERRA_MEPP robot captures each plant in the field using sensors and algorithms. Developed by @Illinois_Alma with support from @ARPAE, TerraSentia earned the best systems award at @RoboticsSciSys the preeminent robotics conference. https://t.co/v4WDFaraoJ HT: @EarthSense_Inc

[iSEE at U of I @sustainILLINOIS]

Awesome news for @CABBIbio, @TERRA_MEPP and @arpaeWEST!! We can't wait to see what new information pops up! https://t.co/PKUR4RXlob

[Samuel B Fernandes @s_b_fernandes]

That’s how a great field experiment looks like when it’s being planted!

The AI farm experiment: https://t.co/HUyz6cnJMw

"Major companies are bringing together new machine learning algorithms, better and cheaper sensors, and increased computing power in hopes of addressing growing global demand for food and agriculture's diminishing labor force."

[EarthSense @EarthSense_Inc]

The amazing TerraSentia robot is only possible due to the innovative work by the brilliant @TERRA_MEPP team powered by research funding from @ARPAE . Your tax dollars at work - literally! :-) https://t.co/VQgIKElnCU

Listen to Prof. Chowhary's interview on @21stShow 'TerraSentia,' An R2-D2 For Farmers? https://t.co/PshdBBMjFg https://t.co/sLCywMlVyU

[The 21st Show @21stShow]

'TerraSentia,' the robot Prof. Girish Chowdhary is working on, can measure how many seeds have germinated, the height of the crops, and the width of the stems. "It's not as good as a human, but it's getting there pretty quick."

[TERRA-MEPP @TERRA_MEPP]

Congraulations, @EarthSense_Inc https://t.co/6qLDiISbOc

[EarthSense @EarthSense_Inc]

Great to have TerraSentia featured on @SeedWorldMag https://t.co/WNB81TLZbj

[University of Illinois @UofIllinois]

Agricultural and biological engineering professor Girish Chowdhary is leading a team that includes crop scientists, computer scientists and engineers in developing TerraSentia, a crop phenotyping robot. https://t.co/MNdhYTLuQG

"Trump wanted to slash funding for clean energy. Congress ignored him" by @umairfan via @voxdotcom. https://t.co/Jcn7SkLrCQ

The omnibus spending bill contains funding increases for clean energy research—including @TERRA_MEPP robots that help increase bioenergy production.

Trump really wants to kill ARPA-E; federal agency says that’s folly: https://t.co/y54l3BF3j9 via @arstechnica by @MeganGeuss.

We are grateful for @ARPAE support that is generating the next revolution in ag mechanization: https://t.co/TGBqkzvFNF.

[TERRA-MEPP @TERRA_MEPP]

#ARPAE18, see our autonomous robot in action at 5:45 pm at booth 151. Discover how TerraSentia could revolutionize how we monitor bioenergy crops to improve yields, thanks to support from @ARPAE.

[TERRA-MEPP @TERRA_MEPP]

Check out our ag robots that speed data collection, analyses of crops this week at the @ARPAE Innovation Summit in #WashingtonDC. https://t.co/D9ENcnrqff
