9 Agricultural Engineering Research Academic Research Papers published for the recent 5 years Classification Total Off-road machinery system (29.6) Agricultural product, food processing engineering Biological production facility and environmental engineering Biological process engineering Information process and interdisciplinary technology (22.1) (21.0) (8.7) (16.8) Total ,052(100%)

10 Applied Research Bio-production technologies to save labor and automate field operations for high productivity Post-harvest technologies to produce high quality and safe agricultural products, and improve the value for global competition Bio-resource technologies to save energy and develop alternative energy sources against high oil cost and exhaustion of fossil energy

11 Bio-production Agricultural machines for upland farming and horticulture production Animal management systems for livestock and sewage disposal Precision agriculture for information management

12 Post-harvest Machines for evaluating the quality of rice Storage systems for keeping fruits fresh Processing techniques for handling crops after harvest Non-destructive techniques for grading fruits or detecting contaminants in food Packaging and distribution techniques for agricultural products

13 Bio-resource Heating or cooling systems using geothermal energy for greenhouse Use of bio-materials for treating animal manure Reduction of energy use and damage due to natural disaster

14 Agricultural Machines for Bio-Production Mid-mount Tractor Mower Prototype mower with three blades (left) and mowing of grass (right) -Cutting height : 25 ~ 110 mm - Working performance : 0.7 hr/ha.

15 Spinach Harvester - Working performance : 46 hr/ha

16 Stone Picker - The range of stones size : 7.5 ~ 25 cm in diameter - Operating depth : 10cm

17 Automatic Transplanter for Red Pepper - Successful transplanting rate : 99.2% - Working performance : 23 hr/ha

18 Pneumatic Direct Rice Seeder - Used for planting rice into the soil in irrigated fields - Working performance :1.0 hr/ha

19 Map-based Variable Rate Fertilizer Applicator - A map is created with a mapping program while combining geographic information and site-specific fertilizer requirements - A PWM control algorithm was developed to change the motor speed, resulting in change in the application rate.

20 Sprayer System for Ginseng - Automatic traveling equipment and agricultural chemical spraying of machine controlled by a microcomputer

21 Agricultural Machines for Post-Harvest Grain Moisture Sensor - The sensor using radio frequency signals is used for measuring moisture content of rice - measurement error : ± 0.5%

22 Red Pepper Calyx Remover - Calyx of red-pepper is removed due to a difference in velocity made by two conveyers and a compression force caused by the conveyers and a tension spring

23 Integrated Processing System for Onion Harvests -The system includes three operations (peeling, washing, and packaging) - The system capacity : 320kg/hr.

24 Remote Control for Cold Storage House Using Mobile Phone -Voice information is sent to a controller to operate temperature and humidity using mobile phones -The system alarms operators through mobile phones

25 Rapid Detection of Bacterial Contaminants Using Electronic Nose Biosensors - The electronic nose system can detect odors of Salmonella Typhimurium when the concentration is 1.8x106 cfu/g.

26 Internal & External quality evaluation system of Korean red ginseng - The system consists of a feeder, a quality evaluation (internal and external) assembly. - The internal quality and external appearance can be detected by VIS/NIR techniques. * VIS : Visible Ray, NIR: Near Infrared Radiation

27 Machines for Use of Bio-resource Geothermal Heat Pump For Greenhouse - Installed in a depth of 3 m underneath the soil. - A inside temperature in a greenhouse could be maintained between 15 and 17
