About

Dr. Elisavet-Persefoni Kanidou is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of agricultural technology and human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on robotics and extended reality (XR) applications in agriculture. Her most-cited work, the 2025 review "Applications of robotics and extended reality in agriculture: A review" (4 citations), provides a critical synthesis of how robotic systems and immersive technologies can address the pressing labor shortage threatening global food security. Dr. Kanidou’s major contribution lies in framing these innovations as key enablers of the transition to Agriculture 5.0, while honestly acknowledging the early developmental stage of XR integration. Her research bridges engineering, computer science, and agronomy, offering practical pathways for automation in farming. Though her citation count is still growing, her work has already shaped discussions on sustainable agricultural practices and workforce challenges. Dr. Kanidou’s forward-looking analysis positions her as a vital voice in the digital transformation of agriculture, inspiring students and researchers to explore how cutting-edge technologies can solve real-world food production crises.
