Biography:
Dr. Ebato studied soil science at Kyoto University, Japan, and obtained a master's degree. He then conducted research on the soil adsorption of herbicides at Kyoto Prefectural University, Japan, and earned his Ph.D. in 2003. In the same year, he joined the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), where he conducted research on cattle grazing and environmental impact assessment. Witnessing soil degradation caused by cattle trampling during grazing, he began research on simplified soil physical diagnostics and field drainage from 2015. He has developed simplified soil physical diagnostic techniques and related technologies, resulting in 14 patent applications and acquisitions
Title : Soil physical property assessment of large-scale paddy fields using autonomous robots
