About

Paulo E. Linares Otoya is a researcher at the forefront of agricultural automation and precision farming, specializing in machine vision, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). His work bridges the gap between advanced sensor technology and practical agricultural tasks, aiming to increase efficiency and productivity in food production. A key contribution is the development of a machine vision system that uses RGB-D image analysis to automatically grade artichoke seedlings based on leaf area, a critical step for quality control in nurseries. This system was integrated into a robotic platform capable of sorting seedlings, demonstrating a complete automation solution. This work has garnered 7 citations, highlighting its relevance to the field. Additionally, Otoya has explored the concept of the "IoT Automated Orchard," designing a domestic-scale system that combines a cartesian robot, a mechanical claw, and Industry 4.0 connectivity to schedule and manage routine farming tasks. This innovative approach to home agriculture showcases his ability to apply complex automation principles to accessible, real-world environments, making him a notable contributor to the future of smart farming.
