Green Innovation

Researchers from Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), funded by the 2024 Indonesian Technology Dissemination Program (PDTI), have introduced the RoboSemp (spray robot) versions 2 and 3. These innovations aim to improve the efficiency of spraying horticultural crops, particularly chili plants. The technology was implemented at the Mugi Mulyo Farmers Group in Sedayu Village, Muntilan, Magelang Regency, Central Java, benefiting 428 farmers across 80 hectares of farmland.

The UNY students team has presented “Nanocomposite ZnO/Carbon Dots Cassava Outer Shell as a Photocatalyst for Methylene Blue Dyes Waste Degradation” at the World Youth Invention and Innovation Award (WYIIA) 2021. Their presentation has succeeded in convincing the judges to give award silver medals.
