Smart Agricultural Machinery Laboratory (SAML)

The Smart Agricultural Machinery Laboratory (SAML) aims to enhance agricultural productivity through the development of mechanized cultivation models for various crops and their field validation.

SAML conducts a wide range of research, including the development and structural analysis of agricultural machinery for field operation mechanization, as well as the design of monitoring systems that utilize advanced agricultural technologies such as drones and sensors for data collection, analysis, and monitoring.

Based on the collected data, the lab is developing predictive models and automation package technologies to improve the feasibility of precision agriculture. SAML is committed to applying practical, cutting-edge technological solutions directly in the field.
