Description
AIRLab devotes special attention to innovation in agricultural processes using AI and robotics, in close collaboration with agronomists and experts in agricultural machinery. The deep expertise of AIRLab in benchmarking autonomous robot systems led to the development of methodologies and techniques for quantitative field testing of advanced agricultural machines. More generally, AIRLab has the expertise to design and build from scratch the hardware and software of robots tailored to specific applications and has an internal mechanical workshop. AIRLab software is always developed in-house. Advanced competencies in custom electronics and mechatronics are available to AIRLab via its spin-off company Nova Labs. Hardware available to AIRLab includes many mobile robot platforms (ground-based and aerial; indoor and outdoor; wheeled, tracked, legged, and omni-wheeled) and a large number of sensor devices of different types. The range of available camera sensors (vision, vision+depth, stereo, NIR, multispectral, event-based) and LiDAR sensors (single-plane, multiple-plane up to 64, dome) is especially wide. AIRLab computing infrastructure includes devices integrable on board of mobile robots and specialised servers for AI training.
