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.

Multimodal Mixed Reality for In‐Field Visualization of RGB‐Based Vegetation Indices
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Evaluating crop physiological health in field environments remains constrained by offline data processing or static 2D displays, limiting real‐time spatial interpretation. This paper presents a novel mixed reality framework that calculates, normalizes, and visualizes 20 RGB‐based vegetation indices directly in agricultural fields using consumer‐grade ...

Environmentally Symbiotic Plant Robot
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An environmentally symbiotic plant robot is presented that externalizes its drive system to plants and soil. By converting germination and growth forces into locomotion, the robot sustains a closed cycle of seeding, germination, growth, and reseeding, autonomously traveling on soil for 30 days using only environmental resources while distributing seeds

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...
