Agricultural ground-breaking solutions based on robotics and augmented reality for boosting social sustainability and competitiveness while increasing the safety of workers
AGROBOOST is a pilot driven, 5-year multi-disciplinary project that aims to transform the agricultural sector into a more attractive, sustainable and efficient industry by harnessing the power of advanced agro-robotics, augmented reality (AR), AI, automation and digitalization revealing the societal and economic benefits for all the people working in agriculture, especially women, young professionals and farmers with moving disabilities.
Six distinct and diverse pilot validation campaigns will be demonstrated covering multiple agricultural practices and sectors including (1) tree pruning and flower thinning, (2) mushroom selective harvesting, (3) automated weeding, (4) strawberries gentle picking, (5) animal husbandry and livestock farm management and (6) crop monitoring in steep slope viticulture.
Funding for third-party testing and validation will be awarded via an Open Call, enabling flexible adaptation to evolving policy and technology landscapes.
Martel leads the Impact Maximization and Ecosystem Building work package and the preparation, evaluation and the monitoring of the open calls.
