Last Friday, November 22, the Robs4Crops (R4C) project took another step toward revolutionizing modern agriculture with a Scale-Up demonstration event for its Greek large-scale pilot 2. Hosted in collaboration with PEGASUS AGRIFOOD COOP – 7Grapes in Kiato, Greece, the event brought together 45 farmers and agricultural advisors eager to see autonomous table grape spraying.
Autonomous Agriculture in Action
During the live demonstration, attendees witnessed:
1. The CEOL robot seamlessly navigating fields using the R4C Farming Controller. 2. A retrofitted tractor executing autonomous spraying with precision, highlighting its potential for efficiency and sustainability.
Innovations Driving the Future
Experts provided deeper insights into the technology:
–Panagiotis Karagiannis from the Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems and Automation presented the Farming Controller’s capabilities, showcasing how it enables autonomous decision-making.
–Giannis Augoustakis introduced the Perception Unit, a crucial technology for achieving accurate, autonomous spraying.
With its focus on digital innovations and sustainable solutions and integrating robotics and automation, Robs4Crops is making farming more efficient, cutting pesticide use with precise spraying, and reducing labor demands through autonomous machinery.
