Exploring smart harvesting, sowing sustainability!
Aiming to support United Nations SDGs.
The Rouverson Silva Research Group (RSRG) focuses on developing works in Digital Mechanization, seeking the practical and immediate application of the results. It has an interdisciplinary team of researchers who strive to transform agricultural data into technocentric solutions that strengthen the resilience of sustainable agricultural systems. The RSRG was established at São Paulo State University, Jaboticabal Campus, in 2019, and most of its projects are developed in the field, ensuring that practical solutions are provided for the problems faced by farmers.
RSRG specializes in Digital Mechanization, delivering practical and immediate solutions across multiple sectors. Our mission is to drive technological development through innovative, high-quality research that bridges the gap between science and real-world application.
We are committed to fostering continuous innovation, promoting excellence in research, and empowering progress through a team of skilled professionals. Our work generates a positive social impact, contributing to a smarter, more sustainable future in agriculture and beyond.
Research Grants: The RSRG/LAMMA stands out for its strong track record in securing funding from Brazil's leading science and technology agencies, including FAPESP, CNPq, and CAPES, as well as through partnerships with private companies and international institutions. These investments enable cutting-edge research in Digital Agriculture, smart mechanization, and remote sensing, directly impacting human resource development and the sustainability of tropical farming systems.

Research lines: The RSRG/LAMMA conducts applied research in the fields of Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Precision Agriculture, and Digital Agriculture, with a strong focus on technological innovation for the agribusiness sector. Its main research lines include:
- Smart Harvesting
- Quality Control in Mechanized Operations
- Remote Sensing and Artificial Intelligence
The RSRG is located at LAMMA - Agricultural Machinery and Mechanization Laboratory of UNESP - São Paulo State University, Jaboticabal Campus.
UNESP is the best case of a multicampus university in Brazil. Its geographical distribution includes 24 campus located mostly in inland small or medium-sized cities - and one campus in the capital, São Paulo.
This feature brings an immense potential for local and regional impact. Students who chose Unesp will also be part of an institution that produces 8% of Brazilian science, in addition to well recognized undergraduate and graduate courses in all areas of knowledge.
