In UM's new video series, Up Close, researcher Jay Wang shows us the game-changing tech he's developing for Manitoba farmers.
Assistant Professor Jay Wang, with UM’s Robot Autonomy Lab, is building a “brain” for farm machinery. Wang is combining artificial intelligence with physics-based control systems to help robots learn, adapt and operate safely in unpredictable environments. His goal is to develop a technology that could make existing farm equipment fully autonomous and more productive, and that could one day be deployed in other sectors, including space exploration.
For nearly 150 years, UM has transformed lives through groundbreaking research and homegrown innovation. We push the boundaries of knowledge and do the hard work here in Manitoba to move our community and the world forward. With a spirit of determination and discovery, we are shaping a better future for our province and beyond.
