2. MAIN GOAL
To make the creation, planning and execution of farm labours much easier, optimal and ecological/cost-efficiently, doing the “precision farming” a viable option for new and existing industries based on an integrated and cooperative smart ecosystem of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, complex sensing technologies and intervention mechanisms.
Industrial application domains:
Crop management for soil and growth monitoring, illness detection and precise intervention in:
Horticulture
Vineyards
Fodder
Livestock management for health and feeding monitoring, tracking, position and precise intervention in:
Dairy and beef cattle
Herd of pigs
Chicken farms
Validation and testing : Spain, Italy, Finland, Latvia

3. KEY SELLINGS POINTS & CHALLENGES
Internet of Plants and Internet of Animals
Semantic context-based distribution / integration of tasks
Autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicles, sensors / actuators: farming as a service
Verification and validation in real world scenarios
Sensing + Acting on the move
Optimal cooperative task planning

4. CURRENT INTERESTED PARTNERS
(from 14 countries)
PARTNERS
Research: Communication & Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Networking, Mechatronics, Automation and Control.
Industry: Aerial and Ground Robot, Farm machinery & Vehicle manufacturers, System integrators, Software development, Technology providers and Certifiers.
End users: By the moment, we have three demonstration scenarios available. However, new pilots providing an important added value to the project are welcome.
