What: FarmBeats: An AI and IoT solution for Data-driven Agriculture

When: Tuesday, Nov 13th, 12-1pm

Where: Johnson Hall 111

Presentation Description: Data-driven techniques help boost agricultural productivity by increasing yields, reducing losses, and cutting down input costs. However, these techniques have seen sparse adoption owing to the high costs of manual data collection and limited connectivity solutions. FarmBeats, is an AI and IoT platform for agriculture that enables seamless data collection from various sensors, cameras, and drones. Our system design explicitly accounts for weather-related power and Internet outages, and has had several long-term deployments across the US.
