We have been conducting a range of engineering studies on bio-sensors and instrumentation for plants, animals and fish, and on production technologies focusing on harvesting, grading, processing and storage of africultural products and foods within controlled environments. Fundamental research projects, such as substance identification and nutrition analysis, physical property measurement of agricultural products and foods using sound, electromagnetic wave and imaging techniques, and non-destructive quality evaluation, and ongoing, while apllication studies are currently being conducted; automation and robotization of various operations in agricultural facilities and informatization for food safety and security during the production, distribution and consumption stages. In addition, bio-sensors for preventive medical care of farm animals and humans are also being studied.

Biosensing for Life Science

Development of New Sensor Technologies

Bio-instrumentation and Application Development and application of fundamental measuring techniques for precision fish culture and animal husbandry

Quality Evaluation of Agri-products and Foods Research on non-destructive methods to evaluate agri-products and food quality using thermal, sonic, electric and optical properties

Development of Robotic Systems within Controlled Environments Development of automatic and robotic systems in agricultural facilities such as fruit grading facilities and greenhouses

Informatization of Food Production Research on informatization from the production to consumption stages; farming guidance to producers for precision agriculture and traceability to consumers
