Robotics Alley Highlights How Robotics Is Transforming Agriculture & Organic Resources
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 26, 2014
International leaders in robotics study, design and style, company development, investment, law and policy will collect at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest on September 16-17, 2014, to share their insights into the worldwide explosion of robotics and autonomous systems at the Fourth Annual Robotics Alley Conference & Expo.

In recognition of the wide range of ways robotics and autonomous systems are transforming industries right now, the 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo developed nine different tracks of content material. Simply because the conference is hosted in the Midwest, 1 powerful location of interest is agriculture. This year, the producers of the conference turned to Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie – former president of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy – who agreed to chair the Agriculture & All-natural Sources Track. The track is sponsored by the Agriculture & Energy Center of Excellence – North.

Under is a sampling of the content material for the Agriculture & Natural Sources Track. There will be five breakout sessions discussing agriculture and robotics. In addition, new to this year’s conference are virtual company tours taking spot on September 18.

Livestock, Diary, and Poultry
Dairy, beef, swine, and poultry producers are a significant marketplace for existing and emerging technologies. This panel will focus on milking robots for dairy farmers, feed handling technology, and poultry producers who are seeing much more robotics enter their field. Lowell Christensen, Founder and Vice President of Engineering at TruTech Specialty Motors, and Jim Salfer, Dairy Extension Educator of Stearns County, will be presenting on this topic.

Row Crops and Landscape Management
This panel will give an overview of the field of precision agriculture and how it is driving a quantity of firms toward speedy innovations. This panel of speakers involves the following: Kent Cavender-Bares, CEO, Rowbot Systems Larry Johnson, Owner, LLJ Consulting & Enterprise Improvement and David Mulla, Professor, Co-Director of Graduate Studies, Division of Soil, Water and Climate, University of Minnesota.

Unmanned Autos and Aircraft
This panel will look at how innovation in unmanned cars and aircraft has impacted food, agriculture, forestry, and organic resource conservation. We will explore current technologies and appear forward to products in development that will let for much more effective production and better understanding of land resources and capabilities. Panelists for this subject include, Gary Balas, Professor Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics and Control Science & Dynamical Systems Center, University of Minnesota Harlan T. Jacobs, President and Founder, Genesis Enterprise Centers Jerry Johnson, CEO and Founder, Superior Edge, Farm Intelligence2, FourthWing Sensors and Patrick Weldon, Project Manager, Polaris Industries Inc.

Robotics in Food Processing and Distribution
Erik Allen, Senior Study Engineer in the Engineering R&D Group at Cargill, will go over the numerous points of entry from the field to the table for emerging robotic solutions.
