Precision swine farming has the potential to directly benefit both farmers and pigs through monitoring the pigs’ health and growth. We deploy our GeoMCU sensors in pig pens, forming a failure-tolerant sensing network. Using these detected vibrations, we can monitor piglet growth and activity, nursing behavior, sow weight, and more.

Jesse R Codling is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor working with Dr. Pei Zhang. Before moving to the University of Michigan in 2021, he was a Ph.D. Candidate at Carnegie Mellon University. Jesse’s research focuses on embedded sensing systems using vibrations to facilitate health and activity monitoring for humans and animals. In particular his work leverages physical environmental information in order to overcome noise and reliability issues inherent when deploying devices in harsh environments.
