An interdisciplinary team spanning honeybee sensing, controlled-environment agriculture, and field robotics — working across custom PCB & embedded systems design, computer vision, hyperspectral & thermal imaging, wireless sensor networks & IoT, UGV/UAV autonomy & precision navigation, sensor fusion, machine learning & AI, dynamic systems modeling and control, and edge computing for real-world agricultural problems.

Leadership Overview
Dr. Sulaymon Eshkabilov
Founder & Lab Director

Dr. Sulaymon Eshkabilov

Make agriculture and apiculture sustainable using smart sensing, AI, robotics, and automation

Dr. Eshkabilov directs an eight-project research program spanning honeybee biosensing, controlled-environment agriculture, and field robotics. His group designs custom sensor and PCB hardware, and applies computer vision, hyperspectral imaging, sensor fusion, and machine learning to problems in UGV/UAV navigation, precision weeding, hive health monitoring, and hydroponic nutrient control — validated through dynamic system modeling in MATLAB & Simulink and extensive field and greenhouse testing.

"Dr. Eshkabilov's passion for mechanical and control engineering excellence, combined with his dedication to student mentoring, is what makes our research journey both inspiring and transformative."
