Danish startup AgriRobot, a developer of safety software for autonomous agricultural robots, has officially joined the AgRibot project, a collaborative initiative funded by a €4.97 million grant from the European Commission. The project aims to tackle key challenges in European agriculture, such as labor shortages, unsafe working conditions, and the need for increased productivity and устойчивост.
Scheduled over the next four years, the AgRibot project will develop and field-test six advanced robotic systems across Europe to demonstrate their versatility in various agricultural tasks, including weed management, precision spraying, harvesting, and pruning. These systems are not only designed to automate tasks but are enhanced with augmented (AR) and extended reality (XR) technologies to improve training for farmers, support Операции в реално време и улесняване на взаимодействието между човека-машина .
В момента селското стопанство е изправено пред тежка трудова криза, като броят на работната сила се очаква да намалее от над 10 милиона през 2010 г. до приблизително 7 . 9 милиона от 2030. Този недостиг води до значителни загуби на културите, увеличени разходи за труд и ескалиране безопасността и направете селскостопанската кариера по -привлекателна за младежите.
AgriRobot is set to contribute its specialized expertise in autonomous robotics to the project, focusing on the development of certifiable software that promotes safe, efficient, and independent operation of agricultural robots. Henrik Lynge Jacobsen, Co-Founder of AgriRobot, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing the global relevance of labor shortages in agriculture and the potential of Автономна роботика за справяне с тези предизвикателства .
