About

I Dewa Made Subrata is a pioneering researcher in agricultural robotics, with a focus on vision-guided harvesting and precision spraying systems. His early work on the cherry tomato harvesting robot, developed in the 1990s, introduced a 3-D vision sensor that enabled autonomous fruit detection and picking—a foundational contribution to the field of agricultural automation. This series of papers (1996–1998) has accumulated over 11 citations, establishing Subrata as an early innovator in robotic harvesting. More recently, his 2022 study on an autonomous precision spraying robot for cabbage cultivation addresses the inefficiencies of traditional backpack sprayers, offering a targeted, consistent pesticide application method that reduces waste and improves crop health. With a total of 15 citations across his most-cited works, Subrata’s research bridges the gap between computer vision, robotics, and sustainable agriculture. His contributions are particularly notable for their practical impact—demonstrating how affordable 3-D sensors and autonomous systems can solve real-world farming challenges, from labor-intensive harvesting to imprecise pest control.
