Student teams from National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) showcased their innovative technologies through interdisciplinary collaboration, earning a gold and a bronze medal in the "National Precision Health Industry Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition" in the diversified agriculture category at the end of 2024.
The "Thunderbird Team," formed by students from Executive Master Program in Agricultural Business Management, won the gold medal with their laser device for deterring birds, animals, and insects using AI-powered real-time image recognition technology. Meanwhile, the interdisciplinary team "福壽全歸," which developed a natural bio-molluscicide, claimed the bronze medal.
The "Thunderbird Team" consisted of Hsing-Chung , Ju-Fan Huang, Jin-Yu Kao, and Hung-Cheng, Hsieh all second-year students in the Executive Master Program in Agricultural Business Management. Their project was supervised by Professors Shu-Jen Tuan, Biing-Wen Huang, and Hsin-Tang Lin. The team integrated AI real-time image recognition with lasers of varying wavelengths to effectively eliminate pests and repel birds and animals, reducing crop damage and environmental harm. Their innovative approach received high praise from the judges, earning a score exceeding 90 points and securing the gold medal.
The "福壽全歸" team included alumni and students from various NCHU programs: Po-Ya Chan, a graduate of the Master Program of Agricultural Economics and Marketing; Chia-Hsiu Yang, a senior in the Landscape and Recreation program; Pin-Hsien Lin, a first-year master's student in Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences; Hua-Ching Tseng, a graduate of the International Bachelor Program in Agribusiness; Yu-Wei Chiang, a second-year master's student in Horticulture; and technical consultant Ting-Wei Lee. Their project involved creating a natural bio-molluscicide derived from plant extracts to help farmers control apple snails in paddy fields. The team's innovation stood out among numerous competitors, earning them the bronze medal.
This competition, guided by the Ministry of Education's Department of Information and Technology Education and hosted by the Training Program for Interdisciplinary Talents of Precision Health, is one of the ministry's flagship annual events. It aims to foster interdisciplinary talent, promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the precision health industry, and enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange between academia and industry.
NCHU’s success in securing two major awards highlights the university's leadership in precision agricultural technology. Moving forward, NCHU will continue to advance precision agriculture, cultivate more exceptional interdisciplinary innovators, and contribute to the progress of Taiwan's agricultural technology sector.
