The SOPHIA infrastructure will offer the possibility to test and evaluate the mobility algorithms embedded on an aerial robot. Mobility algorithms concern the classical robotics functionalities of mapping, localisation, SLAM, and navigation. The aerial robot is equipped with an array of sensors, including a camera, LiDAR, IMU, and RTK-GPS (for ground truth evaluation). The service consists of three main steps. To begin with, the algorithm is evaluated using representative datasets. After that, the algorithm is integrated into a ROS2 architecture and evaluated with the local agrifoodTEF test infrastructure (various areas are possible). The performance of different attributes of the algorithm is evaluated using quantitative and qualitative metrics. Benchmarking could be proposed as a complementary option to position the performance of the proposed algorithm in relation to the current state of the art. The final step involves field testing under real conditions at a specific end-user or customer site using the mobile living lab (which consists of a mobile laboratory deployed in the field and connected to the real robot for monitoring and evaluation purposes).

Validation of AI- or robotic-based solutions for vineyard management: provision of dedicated and private experimentation facilities on a real vineyard 

Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin - IFV

Location

France

Viticulture

Install your robotic or AI solution on a real vineyard to assess its performance or to foster its development with storage and workshop facilities. Benefit from our accompaniment and our guidance to find the better spots in the vineyard according to your experimental needs. We define the requirements together before you arrive and book for you the parcels and the workshop. We give you detailed information about the soil and all operations in the vineyard so you can choose the best spot to conduct your developments. You will be advised and get feedback on how your solution works.
