Title: How can we integrate robots in agriculture crop production?

Abstract: In western countries there will be no way around automating 
processes and use robots to fulfill tasks in future. Lag of labor force, 
price pressure and law regulations will push farmers to robot 
technology. However, it is still not clear, how robots would look like 
in future farms. Will there be automated tractors, medium sized machines 
or even small swarm operated machines? In this webinar we present our 
ongoing research on autonomous robots in agriculture: Autonomous 
navigation with RTK-GNSS for weeding operations, row navigation with 
camera and LiDAR sensors, camera based in-row and intra-row weeding and 
robots for scouting and leaf area estimation. Additionally, the ongoing 
research on optimizing traction and energy consumption for small 
lightweight machines for agriculture is presented.


Best,

Amy
