About

Zhengqi Chen is a pioneering researcher in agricultural robotics, with a specialized focus on transforming poultry farming through intelligent automation. His work addresses critical challenges in the intersection of robotics, animal welfare, and sustainable agriculture. Chen’s most cited paper, "Robotics for poultry farming: Challenges and opportunities" (2024, 25 citations), provides a comprehensive framework for integrating robotic systems into poultry operations. In this seminal work, he systematically examines how robots can mitigate farming challenges while positively impacting poultry health and welfare, explores novel robot-chicken interactions, and maps the state-of-the-art alongside future research directions. This contribution has rapidly become a foundational reference for researchers and engineers working to modernize animal agriculture. Chen’s research is notable for its holistic approach—balancing technological innovation with ethical considerations for animal well-being. By identifying key opportunities for robotic intervention in monitoring, feeding, and environmental management, he is helping to shape a future where precision agriculture enhances both productivity and quality of life for farm animals. His work continues to influence the growing field of agricultural robotics, inspiring new generations of researchers to tackle the unique challenges of poultry farming.
