About
Igor Smirnov is a leading researcher in agricultural robotics and digital horticulture, with a focus on developing autonomous systems for fruit and berry harvesting. His major contributions include the design of robotic platforms with advanced computer vision for recognizing strawberry ripeness and apple location, as well as motion control algorithms using inertial, satellite, and laser rangefinder navigation tailored to orchard environments. He has also pioneered assessment methodologies for increasing robotic autonomy in horticulture and proposed intelligent technologies for the “Smart garden” system, integrating digitalization of crop production processes. His most cited work, “Robotic Platform for Horticulture: Assessment Methodology and Increasing the Level of Autonomy” (2022), has garnered 25 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. With over 90 total citations across his top ten papers, Smirnov’s research addresses critical gaps in gripper design, path planning, and magnetic-pulse plant processing, advancing the transition to Agriculture 4.0. His notable achievements include developing algorithms for berry recognition and justifying parameters for robotic sprayers, making him a key figure in precision agriculture and autonomous farming systems.
