How smart soil science can transform farming Overcoming high salt concentrations in saline-alkali soils (pictured) has been a priority for Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning.Credit: Moritz Wolf/imageBROKER/Getty The range of climates and environments across China pose distinct challenges for farming systems. Different agricultural approaches are needed for three major soil types found in the country: saline soils in the north, black soils in the northeast, and red and yellow soils in the south. Over six decades, the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning (IARRP) at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing has been developing strategies to address this challenge through agricultural research and innovation. “Our mission is to harness cutting-edge technologies to enhance traditional farming practices, promoting both productivity and sustainability,” says Wenbin Wu, agricultural scientist and director of IARRP. IARRP adopted a core ...

German startup to measure Earth’s temperature round the clock using CubeSats

Image
German startup to measure Earth’s temperature round the clock using CubeSats ConstellR, a startup based in Freiburg, Germany, aims to provide land surface temperature measurements with high spatio-temporal resolution for the whole planet using a CubeSat constellation. The company has estimated that it would need 11 satellites to provide land surface temperature monitoring with 48 hr revisit time over mid-latitudes and about 30-35 for daily global coverage. It will offer Land surface temperature (LST) data which is the primary dataset for monitoring applications across different markets as well as the basis for many remote sensing products, including evapotranspiration & water stress and crop yield prediction models. ConstellR has a strong network of partners in both the industry and academia, with its home institutes being a part of German Fraunhofer Society for Applied Science and the German Aerospace Center, which are two of Europe’s largest research organizations.

Nokia launches sensor fusion tool for industrial automation

Image
Nokia launches sensor fusion tool for industrial automation Nokia has launched a new tool called MX Context which uses sensor fusion technology to deliver AI-powered contextual awareness in industrial settings. Andrew Wooden MX Context is integrated into the Nokia Edge Compute and AI platform and is aimed at industrial businesses. It processes data from different sources in order to serve up real-time insights and automation, and Nokia claims it is the only solution that provides situational and contextual awareness available on the market. Sensor fusion technology is described as integrating real-time data from multiple sources. The release cites MarketsandMarkets, which says the global sensor fusion market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.8%, reaching USD $18 billion by 2028. What Nokia terms as Operational Technology (OT) environments generate huge quantities of data from machine sensors, positioning systems, and worker-worn devices, however the in...

  Climbing Robot:   A climbing robot is a type of mobile robot designed to navigate vertical surfaces, complex terrains, or even ceilings. These robots are engineered for various applications, including industrial inspection, search and rescue, maintenance, and exploration. Key Features of Climbing Robots Adhesion Mechanisms: Suction-based: Uses vacuum suction cups for adherence to smooth surfaces like glass and walls. Magnetic: Equipped with electromagnets or permanent magnets for climbing metallic structures. Gripping & Claw-based: Uses mechanical grippers to hold onto edges, pipes, or rough surfaces. Bio-inspired (Gecko-like Adhesion): Uses micro-fiber adhesion to mimic the climbing ability of geckos. Mobility & Locomotion: Legged Climbing Robots: Mimic biological organisms such as insects or reptiles. Wheeled or Tracked Robots: Utilize wheels or continuous tracks for enhanced grip. Hybrid Systems: Combine multiple adhesion and locomotion mechanisms for...
