Cooperative Agreement

Overview

Grant Description
Control number 1858-3555.
Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.

Project title: Augmented Reality GUI for Bioenergy Crop Phenotyping and Precision Agriculture.

This project will create a scalable architecture for Collaborative Phenomics (SACP). SACP will provide a platform-agnostic, open source, organizational structure for creation, analysis, and sharing of phenomics datasets, analytical pipelines, and visualization software. SACP will include a full stack web solution for sharing public datasets and open source code solving common "pain points" in phenomics.

This project will produce a novel Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Graphical User Interface (GUI) to transform how researchers interact with complex data. Finally, we will create publicly available "best in class" benchmark datasets for analysis with Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) approaches.
Funding Goals
THE OBJECTIVE OF AN ARPA-E OPEN FOA IS SIMPLE, YET COMPREHENSIVE: TO SUPPORT HIGH-RISK R&D LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIALLY DISRUPTIVE NEW TECHNOLOGIES ACROSS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF ENERGY APPLICATIONS. ARPA-E SEEKS TO SUPPORT EARLY-STAGE, BUT POTENTIALLY TRANSFORMATIONAL RESEARCH IN ALL AREAS OF ENERGY R&D, COVERING TRANSPORTATION AND STATIONARY APPLICATIONS. AREAS OF RESEARCH RESPONSIVE TO THIS FOA INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO) ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY BOTH CONVENTIONAL AND RENEWABLE MEANS; ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION, STORAGE, AND DISTRIBUTION; ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR BUILDINGS, MANUFACTURING AND COMMERCE, AND PERSONAL USE; AND ALL ASPECTS OF TRANSPORTATION, INCLUDING THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF BOTH RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE FUELS, ELECTRIFICATION, AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN TRANSPORTATION.
