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
