5 Summary and ConclusionsAMAR is a four-wheeled, tracked, robot built from T-slot aluminum tubing, 3D-printed materials,and connective components. This robotic system consists of several subsystems. It was completelydeveloped by the students and it was a challenging project. Additional tests are needed to verify theML algorithms’ performance. Also, we have identified several areas for improvement. First,switching back to Tensorflow (from TF-Lite) should fix most errors in plant identification eventhough it will take around 250 msec. Second, we plan to research other mapping tools to be used inthe setup mode. Finally, we should offload the computational unit (Raspberry Pi) to mainly run theML algorithms

Some cross-disciplinary areas withparticular demand, now and for the future, are found at the intersection between engineering andthe life sciences. Engineers increasingly need competencies in life science areas that intersectwith their engineering disciplines. Engineers also must meet high-tech industry requirements ofworking cross-culturally, communicating effectively with all teams across the enterprise, andeffectively using time and project management skills. For STEM-specific roles, young engineersare required to have data science understanding, statistics knowledge, and computationalcapability especially if working with big data. In response
