Engineering Agriculture of the Future With IoT and AI Technology

Through the IoT4Ag Engineering Research Center, faculty from the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering will play a pivotal role in providing data communications via IoT and application of AI to problems facing the agricultural sector. David Arnold, Ph.D., George Kirkland Engineering Leadership Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is a co-principal investigator for the ERC and director of the UF site. Alina Zare, Ph.D., professor of electrical and computer engineering in ECE, heads up the Machine Learning & Sensing Lab at UF. They got together to answer twelve questions about the resources engineering brings to precision agriculture and how it will impact the society of the future.
