About

Hongyun Hao is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of precision livestock farming and agricultural robotics, with a specialized focus on rabbit production systems. Their work centers on developing intelligent automation solutions for animal husbandry, particularly through autonomous navigation and computer vision technologies. Hao’s major contributions include the design of a rabbit feeding robot capable of autonomous navigation and precision feeding, which addresses critical challenges in labor efficiency and animal welfare. They have also advanced non-invasive monitoring techniques by improving Mask RCNN models to estimate body weight in captive rabbits, reducing stress on animals while enhancing data accuracy for breeding management. With over 25 combined citations from their most-cited works, Hao’s research has laid foundational groundwork for smart animal husbandry, demonstrating how agricultural robotics can transform traditional rabbit farming into a data-driven, automated industry. Their forward-looking analyses on the possible applications of robotics in this niche field highlight their role as a thought leader, bridging engineering innovation with practical agricultural needs.
