About

Valery Ilin is a leading researcher in autonomous robotics, precision agriculture, and intelligent sensing systems. His work centers on developing mobile robotic platforms that integrate computer vision, multi-spectral imaging, and advanced navigation to solve real-world problems in agriculture and retail. Ilin’s most impactful contribution is his 2021 paper on an autonomous mobile robot for apple plant disease detection, which combines CNN-based analysis with multi-spectral vision systems—including hyperspectral, multispectral, and visible-range scanners—alongside 2D LiDAR and RTK GNSS for precise localization. This work, with 46 citations, has advanced early-stage disease detection in orchards, reducing reliance on manual inspection. His 2020 study on customer behavior analytics using autonomous robotics, cited 16 times, introduces a novel RFID-based system for real-time demand distribution in retail, addressing critical gaps in loss prevention. Ilin’s research bridges robotics, AI, and sensor fusion, earning recognition for its practical impact on agricultural sustainability and retail efficiency. His work continues to inspire innovations in autonomous navigation and environmental monitoring.
