Robots in Indoor Farming: Autonomous Pollination, Safety, and Motion Planning with Dr. Shreyas Kousik

May 28, 2026

In this episode, Dr. Shreyas Kousik from Georgia Tech joins us to discuss his work at the intersection of control theory, robot motion planning, and data-driven design—and how these tools are being used to build a robot that can autonomously and safely pollinate indoor crops.

Indoor farms often lack natural pollinators like birds and bees, forcing growers to hand-pollinate every flower.
