About
Dr. Carlos Roberto De Rolt is a leading researcher at the intersection of agricultural engineering, robotics, and sustainable technology, with a particular focus on Industry 5.0 applications in poultry farming. His most cited work, “Mobile Robot + IoT: Project of Sustainable Technology for Sanitizing Broiler Poultry Litter” (2024, 9 citations), addresses a critical occupational health hazard: the traditional manual application of pesticides to aviary litter, which exposes farmers to airborne chemicals and chronic disease. De Rolt’s major contribution is the design of an autonomous mobile robot integrated with IoT sensors to sanitize broiler litter safely and precisely, replacing hazardous manual labor with a sustainable, data-driven solution. This work exemplifies the Industry 5.0 paradigm by prioritizing human-centric technology—protecting farmer well-being while enhancing productivity. Though early in its citation impact, the paper has already garnered attention for its practical, scalable approach to a persistent agricultural problem. De Rolt’s research agenda positions him as a key innovator in smart farming, where robotics and IoT converge to create safer, more sustainable food production systems. His ongoing work promises to reshape how the poultry industry addresses both environmental and human health challenges.
