IEEE Galveston Bay Section

In this talk an overview of several projects conducted at the University of Catania, concerning the application of robotic in agriculture, will be presented. The state of the art will be shortly illustrated in comparison with the developed prototypes. The projects will consider robots for orange picking, fruits and vegetables harvesting, lawnmowers, autonomous spraying and drone mappings. Finally some considerations on the future of robotics in agriculture will be discussed.

In this talk, an overview of MEMS will be covered, and also its applications in automobile, biomedical and other related sectors will be presented. The start would be by specifying the basics of MEMS, on continue exploring the applications which are currently at their peak. Few topics relevant to its manufacturing and packaging techniques will be introduced. Explaining why presently silicon is used as substrate and its important factors uplifting the characteristics of silicon. Finally, the presenter will share certain outstanding ongoing research.
