This service involves deploying AI models in authentic agricultural environments to validate their predictions against real-world data. The process includes field deployment where AI models are integrated with drones or other data collection systems. Ground truth data is collected using manual measurements or industry-standard equipment, serving as a benchmark for accuracy evaluation. Models are compared against this data to assess performance and robustness across various conditions. If required, a feedback loop can be established to refine models based on discrepancies found, ensuring continuous improvement and reliable predictions for agricultural decision-making.

Our pilot and lab scale testbeds provide a controlled environment for customers to execute physical tests of their agricultural technology, machines, or algorithms. These testbeds can be configured to simulate real-world agricultural environments, allowing for precise control and monitoring of variables. This setup enables AI models to be trained and refined using accurate, real-time data. The testbeds incorporate automation to mimic various agricultural tasks, offering a comprehensive platform for testing and optimising AI-driven agricultural solutions. This service bridges the gap between theoretical development and practical application in the agricultural sector.

Tree Crops

Testing of AI and robotics solutions leveraging edge computing and communication protocols in the IoT cloud-edge continuum. Can be a digital test (run on virtualised machines) or a physical test deployed either at the customer's premises or using the wide coverage wireless network installed in Trento valleys (Val d'Adige and Val di Non) for fruit crops (including but not limited to apples and grapes). FBK can support test design, proposing a benchmarking architecture to stress and monitor key components, helping to understand bottlenecks, allowing for better performance, lower bandwidth use, more reliability, and lower operating costs of tested solutions.
