Field Robot Talks (Wed. 15th – 9:00-12:00)

Ag Robots on the way to the market!?

Since a long time the idea of field robots for agricultural applications has led to dreams and innovations, however, swarms of autonomous systems are still science fiction, aren’t they ? Since 2003 the International Field Robot Event is looking ahead to future applications. Is it just playing around or is the gap between research and commercial products decreasing? Having a look at recent activities of several companies and research institutions as well as at international fairs, supports this view.

The Field Robot Talks reflects this situation and looks ahead. The program is as follows:

  1. First part:
    Research institutions which participate in the contest present their ideas, research applications and their robot ideas within their research and for the future. This should give a good picture of some public international research activities.
  2. Second part:
    Guests from industry are invited to present their products, research and ideas but also contribute to the discussion about the future of field robotics. The companies have already entered field robotics, either in research or close-to-the-market steps.
    Speakers will be:
    – Benno Pichlmaier from AGCO / FENDT
    – Tobias Mugele from BOSCH Deepfield Robotics
    – Julien Laffont from NAIO Technologies
  3. Third part:
    A common discussion of all participants will complete the Field Robot Talks.
