Workshop Description

Global challenges such as food security, climate change, and the transition to sustainable agricultural practices require innovative solutions. AI and robotics are increasingly recognized as key technologies to address these challenges by enabling resource-efficient farming, automating labor-intensive tasks, and supporting climate change adaptation. These technologies can significantly contribute to environmental protection while enhancing productivity and resilience in agriculture.

This workshop is intended to offer researchers from industry, start-ups and academia in this field the opportunity to present their research, exchange ideas and discuss open challenges on the following topics:

• Smart Implements
• Robotics in Weeding and Plant Protection
• Remote Sensing and Modelling e.g. for Crop Management
• Pest and Disease Detection
• Yield Prediction
• Harvesting Robotics
• AI and Robotics in Livestock
• Decision Support Systems
• Datasets
• Animal and Plant Phenotyping
• Climate Resilient Farming Systems
• Soil Monitoring and Management
