About

M. G. Hagan is a researcher focused on advancing agricultural robotics, with a particular emphasis on developing practical automation solutions for the farming industry. Their key research areas include robotic end effectors for fruit and vegetable harvesting and the design of specialized agricultural robots for small-scale farms. Hagan’s most cited work, "Robotic applications on agricultural industry. A review" (2020), with 35 citations, provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of robotic grippers and manipulators used in harvesting, highlighting technical challenges and innovations without exhaustive coverage. This review has become a foundational reference for researchers exploring automation in agriculture. Additionally, Hagan contributed to "Agricultural robot for small farms" (2020), which introduces a novel walking robot concept designed for remote-controlled operations in small or peasant farms, capable of performing tasks such as tilling and crop management. This work addresses the critical need for affordable, adaptable robotics in underserved agricultural sectors. Hagan’s research bridges the gap between advanced robotic technology and practical, accessible farming solutions, making a meaningful impact on sustainable agriculture and food production efficiency.
