Description:

The Agricultural Technology Research Program drives transformational innovation, developing new methods and systems specifically designed for poultry, agribusiness, and food manufacturing applications. These innovations are created to maximize productively and efficiency, advance safety and health, and minimize environmental impacts. Our goal is to transition technologies from concept to commercialization, as quickly and economically as possible. Robotics/automation research studies focus on intelligent automation systems, which incorporate advanced sensors, robotics, and computer simulation and control technologies in an integrated package. Advanced imaging and sensor concepts research studies focus on the design of systems for grading, inspection, and animal health monitoring. The systems employ audio as well as stereo 3D, time-of-flight, visible, IR, and UV imaging modalities. Environmental and energy research studies focus on emerging technologies that help to reduce water usage and waste generation, while also facilitating the recovery of waste heat and value-added byproducts from processing operations. Food safety research focuses on technologies to improve process control and product quality. The program honors Abit Massey, president emeritus of the Georgia Poultry Federation, who was instrumental in the ATRP s founding more than 40 years ago and remains a dedicated supporter to this day. For many producers, especially those in the poultry industry, treating wastewater is a long and expensive process. Researchers at Georgia Tech are looking at some high-tech options to help the situation, as Georgia Farm Monitor s Damon Jones explains.
