Description

\n

Currently most agricultural control action (fertilisation, irrigation, plant protections, weeding, harvesting, etc.) are based on scarcely sampled measurements and are performed homogeneously over large portions of the farm. “Precision Agriculture” aims at overcoming this limitation by performing actions only where and when they are effectively needed. Robotics is one of the key technologies to support the technical challenges of precision agriculture. In this forum worldwide experts will approach the topic from different points of view, providing an overview of the current state of the art and future challenges of robotics in Agriculture.
