The role of Moringa oleifera in the development of alternative biofuels, under the concept of an integral one‐tree biorefinery: A minireview

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The Moringa oleifera oil tree is commonly known as the ‘tree of life’ or the ‘miracle tree’ owing to its multiple benefits for humans. The different parts that make up this tree (leaves, seeds and bark) have been used to treat various ailments, diseases and wounds. However, in recent years this tree is being used by the scientific community to

Flower Interaction Subsystem for a Precision Pollination Robot [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Robotic pollinators not only can aid farmers by providing more cost effective and stable methods for pollinating plants but also benefit crop production in environments not suitable for bees such as greenhouses, growth chambers, and in outer space. Robotic pollination requires a high degree of precision and autonomy but few systems have addressed both ...
