Our Mission
The mission of MUDBUG (Multiple Use Data Acquisition Bio Unit Group) is to revolutionize soil health monitoring and management through innovative, cost-effective, and accessible precision agriculture technology. By developing advanced sensor modules that measure a wide range of soil characteristics, such as moisture content, compaction, and nutrient levels, MUDBUG aims to empower farmers with real-time, continuous soil data. This initiative is driven by a commitment to enhancing sustainable farming practices, improving crop yields, and supporting regenerative agriculture to combat soil degradation and climate-related challenges. MUDBUG's dedication to integrating renewable energy sources, such as microbial fuel cells and solar power, further underscores its goal of promoting environmentally friendly solutions for the agricultural sector.
Our Technology
The MUDBUG team has made significant strides in developing and refining our soil sensor technology. With a multidisciplinary approach, our team has successfully created working prototypes of our sensor modules, which have been tested and proven to provide valuable insights into soil health. We have also secured $16,000 in grant funding to support our ongoing research and development efforts. Recent initiatives include designing an EC sensor from e-waste, developing a PCB for power regulation, and creating a solar energy system to power the sensors. Our team's collaboration and technical expertise have enabled us to overcome various challenges, ensuring continuous progress towards commercializing our innovative solutions. The dedication and passion of key team members have been instrumental in driving the project forward, as we continue to expand our knowledge and skills to meet the project's needs.
