Sensors and Artificial Intelligence models developed to manage crops with less water
The accuracy obtained with these new sensors allows application to other areas where moisture detection is important. More details at UPCT news.
We have a new Ph.D. in the group
Our colleague, Juan Domingo González Teruel, has defended his doctoral thesis “Modeling of soil dielectric properties. Application in sensor design for precision agriculture control systems” with the qualification of cum laude.URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10317/11899DOI: 10.31428/10317/11899

Maintenance and adjustment of sensors
Last Friday we were doing some maintenance tasks in our facility in La Majada, property of Grupo Paloma, as part of the IRRIFRUT project.
IRRIFRUT maintenance tasks
IRRIFRUT project (La Majada). Installation of rain protection and adjustment of infrared radiomenters. Pruning measurement to differentiate vegetative growth between treatments.
The PRISMA research group was born!
The PRISMA research group (Precision Systems for Agri-Food, Environmental and Social Sustainability) brings together transversal lines, leading to sustainable systems for the instrumentation and control in agri-food, marine and environmental contexts, as well as the social integration using systems of perception and interaction with the human environment.
New low-cost device to treat postural vertigos
Our research group and Reina Sofia hospital test a new low-cost device to treat postural vertigos. More details at UPCT news and RTVE. Researchers from the PRISMA group of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) and ENT specialists from the Reina Sofia Hospital in Murcia have developed and patented a technological prototype to treat Benign …

New article in Sensors journal
On November 22nd we published a new article in Sensors (http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/20/22/6678), where we explored the dielectric properties of soil at different electromagnetic frequencies. The bandwidth analysed ranges from 1MHz to 6 GHz and the materials studied are mainly clays and clay soils with different mineralogical compositions. This study proposes a new mixing model that tries …
