Precision agriculture (PA), a concept that can be understood as digital/intelligent or automated agriculture, encompasses the use of technology (e.g., robotics, AI/ML software, sensors, automation, remote sensing) in agricultural production, protection, monitoring, and management. Due to the importance of agriculture in our lives, PA has become a key approach to enhance food security and safety, as well as environmental sustainability. Besides the potential for agricultural science, PA became a ‘specialization’ for other engineering scientific areas including robotics, remote sensing, and AI/ML. However, a major step from research to applications in realistic conditions has still to be achieved. Real-life application domain is very important for any engineering system towards offering relevant outcomes for the agriculture sector, allowing the verification of assumptions made, identifying new challenges, and leveraging future scenarios.
AIGreenBots is a Doctoral Network (DN) that aims to provide advanced training and real-life experience for Researchers (ie, PhD students) who will cope with the next-generation of agricultural robotics. Agricultural robotics is growing and rapidly evolving, thus AIGreenBots will expose the next generation of researchers to broad, innovative (research-related) and transferable competences delivered by world- leading academic and SME institutions located in four countries
