Blockchain‐Based Smart Contracts in US Specialty Crop Marketing: Grower Preferences and Adoption Potential

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using survey and discrete choice experiment data, we examined US specialty crop growers' preferences for marketing contract attributes in the context of emerging blockchain‐based technologies and expanding traceability initiatives. Results show that farmers preferred traditional written contracts but might be willing to accept digital ...

Not All Agreements Are Equal: Heterogeneous Effects of RTAs on Latin American Agri‐Food Exports, 1990–2019

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the final decade of the 20th century, Latin American countries have increasingly regarded the signing of regional trade agreements (RTAs) as a promising strategy for expanding their exports. Within this context, the main objective of this study is to assess the impact of RTAs on agri‐food exports in Latin America over the period 1990 ...

Study of MOL Production from Various Fruit Waste Mixtures and Fermentation Length

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract This study aimed to assess the production of Local Microorganisms (MOL) from various fruit waste mixtures and the length of fermentation on MOL quality. This study used a completely randomized design with 2 factors. First factor was fruit waste mixtures (F) with 4 levels: F1 (maja, banana), F2 (banana, papaya), F3 (papaya, maja),

Estimation of Import Demand Functions of Two Key Food and Feed Commodities (Corn and Soybean) for India

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The derived demand for the increased demand for meat and dairy products is clearly observed in the fast‐paced growth of the Indian feed industry and its increased demand for agricultural commodities (e.g., corn, soybean, rice, wheat, broken rice, millet, etc.) as feed ingredients.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Six‐DoF Strawberry Harvesting Pose Selection and Adaptive Obstacle Clearing in Occluded Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An occlusion‐aware 6‐DoF harvesting strategy integrates γ‐angle pose selection, ripeness‐weighted risk evaluation, and adaptive obstacle clearing. The approach enables collision‐free grasping orientation selection and improves strawberry harvesting reliability under complex occlusion, achieving higher success rates and reduced fruit damage. In complex,

A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Towards stochastic simulation of crop yield: a case study of fruit set in sweet pepper [PDF]

, 2010
Crop growth simulation models are widely used in research and education, and their use in commercial practice is increasing. Usually these models are deterministic: one set of input values always gives the same output of the model.

A Backdrivable Impedance‐Controlled Wrist for Safe and Measurable Canopy Interaction in Robotic Apple Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Dense apple canopies make contact unavoidable, and human pickers handle it by letting the wrist give. A compact backdrivable wrist brings the same compliance to a harvesting robot, deflecting on contact and estimating the interaction torque from motor current alone.
