About

Dr. Alexandra Kroeger is a pioneering researcher in agricultural robotics, with a focused expertise in autonomous systems for pasture sanitation and human-animal-robot interaction. Her work addresses critical challenges in sustainable livestock management, particularly the development of robots that can autonomously navigate and sanitize pasture environments while ensuring animal welfare. Dr. Kroeger’s most-cited studies, including “Autonomous Versus Manual Control of a Pasture Sanitation Robot” (2023) and “Animal Acceptance of an Autonomous Pasture Sanitation Robot” (2022), have each garnered 2 citations, establishing foundational knowledge in this niche field. She has demonstrated that autonomous robots can effectively reduce pathogen loads in pastures, with her research uniquely emphasizing the behavioral responses of livestock to robotic systems—a key factor for real-world adoption. Her contributions bridge engineering and ethology, offering practical solutions for reducing manual labor in agriculture while maintaining ecological balance. Dr. Kroeger’s work is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, combining robotics, animal science, and environmental health, and she is recognized as an emerging voice in precision livestock farming. Her studies provide critical insights for developing robots that are not only efficient but also accepted by animals, paving the way for more humane and automated agricultural practices.
