The Center for Smart Agricultural Technologies is a collaborative initiative between DAUST and industries involved in agriculture to develop and deploy innovative solutions to improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of agricultural practices. The center focuses on research and development of advanced technologies such as precision agriculture and livestock, food science, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and robotics, and their application in agriculture.

The goal of these centers is to deepen our understanding of the Earth’s systems through research on remote sensing applied to earth, atmospheric, environmental, and marine sciences; as well as to develop innovative solutions to the challenges facing the African continent, such as climate change, natural disasters, and ecosystem degradation.

DAUST engineers demonstrate the use of machine learning models to detect, and classify marine species using underwater drones fitted with high resolution video imaging.

The Smart Cities Research Center is dedicated to conducting research and development projects focused on improving the quality of life in urban areas through the application of advanced technologies and data analysis techniques. The aim of the center is to develop innovative solutions that address urban challenges and improve the sustainability, resilience, and livability of cities.
