About

Konstantin Lepetukhin is a researcher in agricultural robotics and precision irrigation systems, focusing on the automation of center-pivot irrigation machines. His work addresses the challenge of adapting these machines, traditionally designed for circular fields, to irregularly shaped agricultural plots. In his most-cited paper (2019, 3 citations), he models the irrigation machine as a group of linked mobile robots, presenting algorithms for increasing and decreasing the radius of movement to achieve optimal configurations for non-circular fields. A subsequent study (2020, 2 citations) explores controlling the shape of the sprinkler system itself, further advancing adaptive irrigation technology. Though his citation counts are modest, Lepetukhin’s contributions are notable for bridging robotics and agriculture, offering practical solutions for water efficiency and land utilization. His work lays groundwork for autonomous irrigation systems that can dynamically adjust to field geometry, a key step toward sustainable farming in diverse landscapes.
