About
Jana Dukić is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of agricultural automation and computer vision, with a primary focus on autonomous tree pruning. Her research addresses the critical challenge of enabling robots to identify, assess, and selectively prune branches in orchard environments—a task requiring both precise visual recognition and spatial understanding. Dukić’s major contributions include the development of the BRANCH dataset, a labeled collection of RGB-D images and 3D models specifically designed for autonomous pruning applications, which provides the foundational data needed to train and evaluate perception algorithms. She has also pioneered a comprehensive pipeline that integrates 3D tree reconstruction from RGB-D imagery with automated branch labeling and pruning prediction, effectively bridging the gap between raw sensor data and actionable robotic commands. While her work is early-stage, with papers published in 2024 and 2025, it addresses a pressing need in precision agriculture—reducing labor costs and improving consistency in orchard management. Her research demonstrates a clear trajectory toward practical, field-deployable robotic systems that can navigate complex, unstructured environments.
