Yang leads the Agricultural Robotics Lab. The lab's mission is to apply advanced ideas of robotics, remote sensing, data mining and information technology into precision agriculture. The core techniques we use include multispectral/hyperspectral imaging, spectroscopy, machine learning, geographic information system (GIS), digital mapping, biochemical sensing, etc. The tools available in the lab are unmanned aerial vehicle, unmanned ground vehicle, video camera, multispectral camera, hyperspectral camera, DGPS, and various electrical and optical sensors.
Yang's current research includes field corn nutrient deficiency detection; wheat scab and rust disease detection for high-throughput phenotyping; turf grass winter damage prediction; industrial hemp health monitoring in greenhouse; estimation of soil carbon sequestration in perennial crop fields.
