About

Dr. Stella Bitsika is at the forefront of agricultural innovation, pioneering the integration of robotics and extended reality (XR) to address critical labor shortages threatening global food security. Her landmark review, "Applications of robotics and extended reality in agriculture: A review," has already garnered 4 citations since its 2025 publication, establishing her as a key voice in the transition toward Agriculture 5.0. Dr. Bitsika’s work systematically maps how robotic systems and immersive XR technologies can revolutionize farming practices—from autonomous harvesting to remote training and precision monitoring—offering practical solutions to an industry in crisis. By synthesizing emerging technologies still in their infancy, she provides a foundational roadmap for researchers and practitioners alike, highlighting both the immense potential and the developmental hurdles of smart agriculture. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-world agricultural challenges, making her research indispensable for students and scientists working to build a resilient, automated future for food production.
